16 And Yahweh (A)roars from Zion
And (B)gives forth His voice from Jerusalem,
And the (C)heavens and the earth quake.
But Yahweh is a (D)refuge for His people
And a (E)strong defense to the sons of Israel.
17 Then you will (F)know that I am Yahweh your God,
Dwelling in Zion, My (G)holy mountain.
So Jerusalem will be (H)holy,
And (I)strangers will pass through it no more.

Yahweh Dwells in Zion

18 And it will be in that day,
That the (J)mountains will drip with [a]sweet wine,
And the hills will (K)flow with milk,
And all the (L)brooks of Judah will flow with water;
And a (M)spring will go out from the house of Yahweh
To water the valley of [b]Shittim.
