for the Lord has done great things.
for the wilderness pastures have turned green,

and the fig tree and grapevine yield their riches.

the young locust, the destroying locust,
and the devouring locust—

who has dealt wondrously with you.
My people will never again be put to shame.
and that I am Yahweh your God,
and there is no other.
My people will never again be put to shame.
