Joel 2:23 in Context — Joel 2
21 Terre, ne crains pas, Sois dans l’allégresse et réjouis-toi, Car l’Éternel fait de grandes choses!
22 Bêtes des champs, ne craignez pas, Car les plaines du désert reverdiront, Car les arbres porteront leurs fruits, Le figuier et la vigne donneront leurs richesses.
23 Et vous, enfants de Sion, soyez dans l’allégresse et réjouissez-vous En l’Éternel, votre Dieu, Car il vous donnera la pluie en son temps, Il vous enverra la pluie de la première et de l’arrière-saison, Comme autrefois.
24 Les aires se rempliront de blé, Et les cuves regorgeront de moût et d’huile.
25 Je vous remplacerai les années Qu’ont dévorées la sauterelle, Le jélek, le hasil et le gazam, Ma grande armée que j’avais envoyée contre vous.
