The Lord Had Pity

18 (A)Then the Lord became jealous for his land
    (B)and had pity on his people.
19 The Lord answered and said to his people,
“Behold, (C)I am sending to you
    grain, wine, and oil,
    (D)and you will be satisfied;
and I will no more make you
    a reproach among the nations.

20 “I will remove the northerner far from you,
    and drive him into a parched and desolate land,
his vanguard[a] into (E)the eastern sea,
    and his rear guard[b] into (F)the western sea;
(G)the stench and foul smell of him will rise,
    for he has done great things.
