Joel 2:23-25

International Children’s Bible

²³ So be happy, people of Jerusalem.
    Be joyful in the Lord your God.
He will do what is right
    and will give you rain.
He will send the early rain
    and the late rain for you, as before.
²⁴ And the threshing floors will be full of wheat.
    And the barrels will overflow with wine and olive oil.

²⁵ “I sent my great army against you.
    Those swarming locusts and the hopping locusts,
    the destroying locusts and the cutting locusts^[a] ate your crops.
But I will pay you back
    for those years of trouble.
