Joel 2:22-24

New International Reader's Version

²² Wild animals, don’t be afraid.
    The desert grasslands are turning green again.
The trees are bearing their fruit.
    The vines and fig trees are producing rich crops.
²³ People of Zion, be glad.
    Be joyful because of what the Lord your God has done.
He has given you the right amount of rain in the fall.
That’s because he is faithful.
    He has sent you plenty of showers.
He has sent fall and spring rains alike,
    just as he did before.
²⁴ Your threshing floors will be covered with grain.
    Olive oil and fresh wine will spill over
    from the places where they are stored.
