At that time water that gives life will flow out from Jerusalem. Half of it will run east into the Dead Sea. The other half will go west to the Mediterranean Sea. The water will flow in summer and winter.

“ I sent plagues on you, just as I did on Egypt. I killed your young men by swords. I also let the horses you had captured be killed. I filled your noses with the stink of your camps. In spite of that, you still have not returned to me,” announces the Lord.

Every place you walk on will belong to you. Your territory will go all the way from the desert to Lebanon. It will go from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.

Those who are killed won’t be buried. Their dead bodies will be thrown on the ground. They will stink. Their blood will cover the mountains.

On the east side the border will run between Hauran and Damascus. It will continue along the Jordan River between Gilead and the land of Israel. It will reach to the Dead Sea and all the way to Tamar. This will be the eastern border.

The Lord changed the wind to a very strong west wind. It picked up the locusts. It blew them into the Red Sea. Not even one locust was left anywhere in Egypt.

The Lord said to me,“ Something very bad will be poured out on everyone who lives in this land. It will come from the north.I am about to send for all the armies in the northern kingdoms,” announces the Lord.“ Their kings will come to Jerusalem. They will set up their thrones at the very gates of the city. They will attack all the walls that surround the city. They will go to war against all the towns of Judah.

That day will be dark and sad. It will be black and cloudy. A huge army of locusts is coming. They will spread across the mountains like the sun when it rises. There has never been an army like it. And there will never be another for all time to come.Like fire they eat up everything in their path. Behind them it looks as if flames have burned the land. In front of them the land is like the Garden of Eden. Behind them it is a dry and empty desert. Nothing escapes them.They look like horses. Like war horses they charge ahead.They sound like chariots as they leap over the mountaintops. They crackle like fire burning up dry weeds. They are like a mighty army that is ready for battle.When people see them, they tremble with fear. All their faces turn pale.The locusts charge ahead like warriors. They climb over walls like soldiers. All of them march in line. They don’t turn to the right or the left.They don’t bump into one another. Each of them marches straight ahead. They charge through everything that tries to stop them. But they still stay in line.They attack a city. They run along its wall. They climb into houses. They enter through windows like robbers.As they march forward, the earth shakes. The heavens tremble as they approach. The sun and moon grow dark. And the stars stop shining.The Lord thunders with his mighty voice as he leads his army. He has so many forces they can’t even be counted. The army that obeys his commands is mighty. The day of the Lord is great and terrifying. Who can live through it?

“‘ “It will take seven months for the Israelites to bury the bodies. They will do this to make the land‘ clean’ again.All the people in the land will bury them. The day that I show how glorious I am will be a time to remember.” This is what the Lord and King announces.“ People will keep being hired to make the land‘ clean’ again. They will go all through it. They and others will bury any bodies lying on the ground.“‘ “After the seven months they will search even more carefully.As they go through the land here is what they’ll do. When anyone sees a bone, they will put a marker beside it. Then those who dig the graves will take the bone to the Valley of Gog’s Armies. There they will bury it.That is how they will make the land‘ clean’ again.” ’ ” Also a town called Gog’s Armies is near there.

When I arrived there, I saw many trees. They were on both sides of the river.The man said to me,“ This water flows toward the eastern territory. It goes down into the Arabah Valley. There it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into it, the salt water there becomes fresh.

The giant locusts have eaten what the common locusts have left. The young locusts have eaten what the giant locusts have left. And other locusts have eaten what the young locusts have left.Get up and weep, you people who drink too much! Cry, all you who drink wine! Cry because the fresh wine has been taken away from you.The locusts are like a mighty army that has marched into our land. There are so many of them they can’t even be counted. Their teeth are as sharp as a lion’s teeth. They are like the fangs of a female lion.

Hazael said,“ How could I possibly do a thing like that? I’m nothing but a dog. I don’t have that kind of power.”“ You will become king of Aram,” Elisha answered.“ That’s what the Lord has shown me.”
