22 Do not fear, beasts of the field,
For the (A)pastures of the wilderness have turned green,
For the tree has borne its fruit;
The fig tree and the vine have yielded [a]their full force.
23 So rejoice, O (B)sons of Zion,
And (C)be glad in Yahweh your God,
For He has (D)given you [b]the early rain in righteousness.
And He has poured down for you the rain,
The [c]early and [d](E)late rains [e]as before.
24 The threshing floors will be full of grain,
And the vats will (F)overflow with the new wine and oil.
