21 “And ^cin that day ^dI will answer, declares the Lord,
I will answer the heavens,
and they shall answer the earth,
22 and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and they shall answer ^eJezreel, ^{▼▼ Jezreel means God will sow}
23 and ^gI will sow her for myself in the land.
And ^hI ⁱwill have mercy on No Mercy, ^{▼▼Hebrew Lo-ruhama}

and he shall say, ‘You are my God.’”

and water the Valley of ^qShittim.

as ^wthe flock of his people;

they shall shine on his land.
