A New Life Promised for Judah

18 “On that day ·wine [sweet/new wine] will drip from the mountains,
    milk will flow from the hills [C symbols of bounty and prosperity],
    and water will run through all the ·ravines [streambeds] of Judah.
A fountain will flow from the ·Temple [L house] of the Lord
    and give water to the valley of ·acacia trees [L Shittim; C perhaps a proper name; Num. 25:1].
19 But Egypt will ·become empty [be desolate],
    and Edom an ·empty desert [deserted wilderness],
because ·they were cruel [of their violence] to the ·people [L sons; descendants] of Judah.
    They ·killed innocent people [L shed innocent blood] in that land.
20 But ·there will always be people living in Judah [Judah will be inhabited forever],
    and ·people will live in Jerusalem from now on [L Jerusalem from generation to generation].
