Daily Bible CEV July 24 Verses

The LORD Will Bless the Land

¹⁸The LORD was deeply concerned about his land

and had pity on his people.

¹⁹In answer to their prayers he said,

"I will give you enough grain, wine, and olive oil

to satisfy your needs.

No longer will I let you be insulted by the nations.

²⁰An army attacked from the north,

but I will chase it into a scorching desert.

There it will rot and stink

from the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean."

The LORD works wonders ²¹and does great things.

So tell the soil to celebrate

²²

and wild animals to stop being afraid.

Grasslands are green again;

fruit trees and fig trees are loaded with fruit.

Grapevines are covered with grapes.

²³People of Zion, celebrate in honor

of the LORD your God!

He is generous and has sent the autumn and spring rains

in the proper seasons.

²⁴Grain will cover your threshing places;

jars will overflow with wine and olive oil.

The LORD Will Rescue His People

²⁵I, the LORD your God, will make up for the losses

caused by those swarms and swarms of locusts

I sent to attack you.

²⁶My people, you will eat until you are satisfied.

Then you will praise me

for the wonderful things I have done.

Never again will you be put to shame.

²⁷Israel, you will know that I stand at your side.

I am the LORD your God-- there are no other gods.

Never again will you be put to shame.
