23. So be happy, people of Jerusalem;be joyful in the Lord your God.Because he does what is right,he has brought you rain;he has sent the fall rainand the spring rain for you, as before.
24. And the threshing floors will be full of grain;the barrels will overflow with new wine and olive oil.
25. “Though I sent my great army against you—those swarming locusts and hopping locusts,the destroying locusts and the cutting locusts that ate your crops—I will pay you backfor those years of trouble.
26. Then you will have plenty to eatand be full.You will praise the name of the Lord your God,who has done miracles for you.My people will never again be shamed.
27. Then you will know that I am among the people of Israel,that I am the Lord your God,and there is no other God.My people will never be shamed again.
28. “After this,I will pour out my Spirit on all kinds of people.Your sons and daughters will prophesy,your old men will dream dreams,and your young men will see visions.
29. At that time I will pour out my Spiritalso on male slaves and female slaves.
30. I will show miraclesin the sky and on the earth:blood, fire, and thick smoke.
