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]in full.
23 So rejoice, O (B)sons of Zion,
And (C)be glad in the Lord your God;
For He has (D)given you [b]the early rain for your vindication.
And He has poured down for you the rain,
The [c]early and [d](E)latter rain [e]as before.
24 The threshing floors will be full of grain,
And the vats will (F)overflow with the new wine and oil.
