Joel 2:17-21

New International Version

¹⁷ Let the priests, who minister^(A) before the Lord,
    weep^(B) between the portico and the altar.^(C)
Let them say, “Spare your people, Lord.
    Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn,^(D)
    a byword^(E) among the nations.
Why should they say among the peoples,
    ‘Where is their God?^(F)’”

“I am sending you grain, new wine^(I) and olive oil,^(J)
    enough to satisfy you fully;^(K)
never again will I make you
    an object of scorn^(L) to the nations.

²⁰ “I will drive the northern horde^(M) far from you,
    pushing it into a parched and barren land;
its eastern ranks will drown in the Dead Sea
    and its western ranks in the Mediterranean Sea.
And its stench^(N) will go up;
    its smell will rise.”

Surely he has done great things!
²¹     Do not be afraid,^(O) land of Judah;
    be glad and rejoice.^(P)
Surely the Lord has done great things!^(Q)
