Context Reading
19Yahweh answered his people,“Behold,I will send you grain, new wine, and oil,and you will be satisfied with them;and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations. 20But I will remove the northern army far away from you,and will drive it into a barren and desolate land,its front into the eastern sea,and its back into the western sea;and its stench will come up,and its bad smell will rise.”Surely he has done great things. 21Land, don’t be afraid.Be glad and rejoice, for Yahweh has done great things. 22Don’t be afraid, you animals of the field;for the pastures of the wilderness spring up,for the tree bears its fruit.The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. 23“Be glad then, you children of Zion,and rejoice in Yahweh, your God;for he gives you the early rain in just measure,and he causes the rain to come down for you,the early rain and the latter rain, as before.
