“Yahweh will give rain for the seed
With which you sow the ground.
Grain will be the produce of the ground.
It will be rich
It will be plentiful.
On that day,
Your cattle will graze in broad pastures.
The oxen will till the ground.
The donkey will eat silage
That has been winnowed
With shovels and forks.
On every lofty mountain,
On every high hill,
There will be brooks running with water.
On this day of the great slaughter,
The towers will fall.
The light of the moon will be
Like the light of the sun.
The light of the sun
Will be sevenfold,
Like the light of seven days.
On the day
When Yahweh binds up
The hurt of his people,
He will heal the wounds
Inflicted by his own blows.”
In this future time, things will be good. Yahweh will send rain to make the seed grains grow rich and plentiful. The cattle will graze in large pastures. There will be plenty of winnowed silage for the working oxen and donkeys so that they can till the ground. All the mountains and the hills will have flowing brooks. The towers will fall on the day of slaughter. However, the light from the moon will be like that of the sun, while the light from the sun will be like the light of a week of sunlight. Yahweh will heal the wounds that people have suffered even from his own blows.
