Blessings for God’s people

17“Then you will know^(A) that I, the Lord your God,^(B)

¹⁸ “In that day the mountains will drip new wine,^(G)
    and the hills will flow with milk;^(H)
    all the ravines of Judah will run with water.^(I)
A fountain will flow out of the Lord’s house^(J)
    and will water the valley of acacias.^[a](K)
19 But Egypt^(L) will be desolate,
    Edom^(M) a desert waste,
because of violence^(N) done to the people of Judah,
    in whose land they shed innocent blood.
²⁰ Judah will be inhabited forever^(O)
    and Jerusalem through all generations.
²¹ Shall I leave their innocent blood unavenged?^(P)
    No, I will not.^(Q)”
