Joel 2:28

The Holy Spirit Prophecy Youth Parents and children

²⁶ You will have plenty to eat, until you are satisfied. You will praise the name of the LORD your God, who has worked wonders for you. My people will never again be put to shame.

²⁷ Then you will know that I am present in Israel and that I am the LORD your God, and there is no other. My people will never again be put to shame.

And afterward, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.

²⁹ Even on My menservants and maidservants, I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

³⁰ I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
