25 “Then I will compensate you for the years
That the [a]swarming (A)locust has eaten,
The creeping locust, the stripping locust, and the gnawing locust—
My great army which I sent among you.
26 You will have plenty to (B)eat and be satisfied,
And you will (C)praise the name of the Lord your God,
Who has (D)dealt wondrously with you;
Then My people will (E)never be put to shame.
27 So you will (F)know that I am in the midst of Israel,
And that I am the Lord your God
And there is (G)no other;
And My people will never be (H)put to shame.
