Joel 3:20

Jerusalem
Eternal life

18 And in that day the mountains will drip with sweet wine, and the hills will flow with milk. All the streams of Judah will run with water, and a spring will flow from the house of the LORD to water the Valley of Acacias.

19 Egypt will become desolate, and Edom a desert wasteland, because of the violence done to the people of Judah, in whose land they shed innocent blood.

But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

21 For I will avenge their blood, which I have not yet avenged.” For the LORD dwells in Zion.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
