Milk Rivering out of the Hills

18-21 “What a day!
    Wine streaming off the mountains,
Milk rivering out of the hills,
    water flowing everywhere in Judah,
A fountain pouring out of God’s Sanctuary,
    watering all the parks and gardens!
But Egypt will be reduced to weeds in a vacant lot,
    Edom turned into barren badlands,
All because of brutalities to the Judean people,
    the atrocities and murders of helpless innocents.
Meanwhile, Judah will be filled with people,
    Jerusalem inhabited forever.
The sins I haven’t already forgiven, I’ll forgive.”
    God has moved into Zion for good.

19 But Egypt(A) will be desolate,
    Edom(B) a desert waste,
because of violence(C) done to the people of Judah,
    in whose land they shed innocent blood.
20 Judah will be inhabited forever(D)
    and Jerusalem through all generations.
21 Shall I leave their innocent blood unavenged?(E)
    No, I will not.(F)

The Lord dwells in Zion!(G)
