23 And children of Zion, exult
    and rejoice in the Lord your God,
because He has given to you
    the early rain for vindication.
He showers down rains for you,
    the early rain and the latter rain, as before.
24 Then the threshing floors will be filled with grain,
    and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.

25 And I will compensate you for the years the locusts have eaten—
    the larval locust, the hopper locust,
    and the fledging locust—
My great army which I sent against you.
