19 Yea the Lorde wyll aunswere, and say to his people, Beholde I wyll sende you corne, and wine, and oyle, and wyll satisfie you therwith, and wyll not geue you ouer any more to be a reproche among the heathen. 20 And I wyll remoue farre of from you the northen armie and I wyll driue him into a lande barren and desolate, with his face towardes the east sea, and his hinder partes towardes the vttermost sea: and his stinch shall arise, and his corruption shall ascende, because he hath exalted him selfe to do this. 21 Feare not O thou lande, be glad and reioyce: for the Lorde wyll do great thinges. 22 Be not afrayde ye beastes of the fielde, for the fruitfull places of the desert are greene: for the tree beares her fruite, the figge tree and the vine yeelde their strength. 23 Be glad then ye children of Sion, and reioyce in the Lorde your God: for he hath geuen you moderate rayne, & he wyll sende downe for you the rayne, euen the first rayne & the latter rayne, in the first moneth. 24 And the barnes shalbe fylled with corne, and the presses shall ouerflowe with wine and oyle.
