dby - Joel:3:1-16

dby@Joel:3:1 @ For behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall turn again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

dby@Joel:3:2 @ I will also gather all the nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of my people and mine inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations: and they have parted my land;

dby@Joel:3:3 @ and they have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, and have drunk [it].

dby@Joel:3:4 @ Yea also, what have ye to do with me, O Tyre and Zidon, and all the districts of Philistia? Will ye render me a recompence? But if ye recompense me, swiftly [and] speedily will I bring your recompence upon your own head;

dby@Joel:3:5 @ because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my beautiful pleasant things,

dby@Joel:3:6 @ and the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the children of the Greeks, that ye might remove them far from their border.

dby@Joel:3:7 @ Behold, I will raise them up out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will bring your recompence upon your own head.

dby@Joel:3:8 @ And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation far off: for Jehovah hath spoken.

dby@Joel:3:9 @ Proclaim this among the nations: prepare war, arouse the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.

dby@Joel:3:10 @ Beat your ploughshares into swords, and your pruning-knives into spears; let the weak say, I am strong.

dby@Joel:3:11 @ Haste ye and come, all ye nations round about, and gather yourselves together. Thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Jehovah.

dby@Joel:3:12 @ Let the nations rouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the nations round about.

dby@Joel:3:13 @ Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down, for the press is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great.

dby@Joel:3:14 @ Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Jehovah is at hand in the valley of decision.

dby@Joel:3:15 @ The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

dby@Joel:3:16 @ And Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: and Jehovah will be a shelter for his people, and the refuge of the children of Israel.
