Judah Will Be Blessed

18 And on that day
The (A)mountains will drip with [a]sweet wine,
And the hills will (B)flow with milk,
And all the (C)brooks of Judah will flow with water;
And a (D)spring will go out from the house of the Lord
And water the Valley of [b]Shittim.
19 Egypt will become a wasteland,
And Edom will become a desolate wilderness,
Because of the (E)violence [c]done to the sons of Judah,
In whose land they have shed innocent blood.
20 But Judah will be (F)inhabited forever,
And Jerusalem for all generations.
