Joel 2:21-23

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²¹ Do not fear, O soil;
    be glad and rejoice,
    for the Lord has done great things!
²² Do not fear, you animals of the field,
    for the pastures of the wilderness are green;
the tree bears its fruit;
    the fig tree and vine give their full yield.^(A)

²³ O children of Zion, be glad,
    and rejoice in the Lord your God,
for he has given the early rain^[a] for your vindication;
    he has poured down for you abundant rain,
    the early and the later rain, as before.^(B)
