23 O children of Zion, be glad,
    and rejoice in the Lord, your God.
For he has given you food in good measure
    by sending you rain,
    the autumn and spring rains as before.
24 The threshing floors will be full of grain,
    and the vats will overflow with wine and oil.
25 I will repay you for the years
    that the swarming locust has eaten,
the hopping, the destroying, and the cutting locust,
    my great army which I sent against you.
