Good News Translation
21-22 At that time I will answer the prayers of my people Israel.[a]
I will make rain fall on the earth,
and the earth will produce grain and grapes and olives.
23 (A)I will establish my people in the land and make them prosper.
I will show love to those who were called “Unloved,”
and to those who were called “Not-My-People”
I will say, “You are my people,”
and they will answer, “You are our God.”
