Joel 2:21-23

New International Reader's Version

²¹     Land of Judah, don’t be afraid.
Be glad and full of joy.
    The Lord has done great things.
²² Wild animals, don’t be afraid.
    The desert grasslands are turning green again.
The trees are bearing their fruit.
    The vines and fig trees are producing rich crops.
²³ People of Zion, be glad.
    Be joyful because of what the Lord your God has done.
He has given you the right amount of rain in the fall.
That’s because he is faithful.
    He has sent you plenty of showers.
He has sent fall and spring rains alike,
    just as he did before.
