15. The sun and moon are darkened;the stars withhold their brightness.
16. The Lord roars from Zion;from Jerusalem his voice bellows out.The heavens and the earth shake.But the Lord is a refuge for his people;he is a stronghold for the citizens of Israel.
17. You will be convinced that I the Lord am your God,dwelling on Zion, my holy mountain.Jerusalem will be holy – conquering armies will no longer pass through it.
18. On that day the mountains will drip with sweet wine,and the hills will flow with milk.All the dry stream beds of Judah will flow with water.A spring will flow out from the temple of the Lord,watering the Valley of Acacia Trees.
19. Egypt will be desolateand Edom will be a desolate wilderness,because of the violence they did to the people of Judah,in whose land they shed innocent blood.
20. But Judah will reside securely forever,and Jerusalem will be secure from one generation to the next.
21. I will avenge their blood which I had not previously acquitted.It is the Lord who dwells in Zion!
