Joel 2:21

Fear not, O land, exult and rejoice, For Jehovah hath done great things!

Noyes Bible

In The King James Version

Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.

In Context

20I will remove far from you the northern host, And I will drive it into a dry and desolate land; Its van toward the Eastern sea, And its rear toward the Western sea. And its scent shall come up, And its ill savor shall come up, Because it hath done great things.

22Fear not, O ye beasts of the field, For the pastures of the desert spring up, For the tree beareth its fruit; The fig-tree and the vine yield their strength!
