Joel 4:15-21 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

15. Sun and moon are darkened,and the stars withhold their brightness,

16. The Lord roars from Zion,and from Jerusalem raises his voice,The heavens and the earth quake,but the Lord will be a shelter for his people,a fortress for the people of Israel.

17. Then you will know that I the Lord am your God,dwelling on Zion, my holy mountain;Jerusalem will be holy,and strangers will never again travel through her.

18. On that daythe mountains will drip new wine,and the hills flow with milk,All the streams of Judahwill flow with water.A spring will rise from the house of the Lord,watering the Valley of Shittim.

19. Egypt will be a waste,Edom a desolate wilderness,Because of violence done to the Judahites,because they shed innocent blood in their land.

20. But Judah will be inhabited forever,and Jerusalem for all generations.

21. I will avenge their blood,and I will not acquit the guilt.The Lord dwells in Zion.
