23 So be happy, ·people of Jerusalem [L sons/children of Zion; 2:1];
·be joyful [rejoice] in the Lord your God.
Because he ·does what is right,
he has brought you rain [or has vindicated you by giving you rain];
he has sent the ·fall [L early] rain
and the ·spring [L late] rain for you, as before.
24 And the threshing floors will be full of grain;
the ·barrels [vats] will overflow with new wine and olive oil.

25 “Though I sent my great army against you—
those ·swarming [or great] locusts and ·hopping [or crawling; or young] locusts,
the ·destroying [consuming] locusts and the ·cutting [chewing; or swarming] locusts that ate your crops [see 1:4]—
I will ·pay you back
for [or restore to you] those ·years of trouble [L years].
