19 The Lord spoke to his people.
He said, “I will send you grain, wine, and oil.
    You will have plenty.
    I will not shame you among the nations anymore.
20 No, I will force the people from the north[a] to leave your land
    and make them go into a dry, empty land.
Some of them will go to the eastern sea
    and some to the western sea.
They did such terrible things,
    but they will be like a dead and rotting body.
There will be such a terrible smell!”

The Land Will Be Made New Again

21 Land, don’t be afraid.
    Be happy and full of joy.
    The Lord will do great things.
