19 And the LORD {YHWH} answered His people: “Behold, I will send you⁺ grain, new wine, and oil, and by them you⁺ will be satisfied. I will never again make you⁺ a reproach among the nations. 20 The northern army I will drive away from you⁺, banishing it to a barren and desolate land, its front ranks into the Eastern Sea (the Dead Sea), and its rear guard into the Western Sea (the Mediterranean Sea). And its stench will rise; its foul odor will ascend. For He has done great things. 21 Do not be afraid, O land; rejoice and be glad, for the LORD {YHWH} has done great things. 22 Do not be afraid, O beasts of the field, for the open pastures have turned green, the trees bear their fruit, and the fig tree and vine yield their best \their strength/. 23 Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your⁺ God {YHWH Eloheikem}, for He has given you⁺ the autumn rains for your vindication. He sends you⁺ showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before. 24 The threshing floors will be full of grain, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil. Joel 2:19-24, Berean Annotated Bible.
