Joel:3:1-16
bes@Joel:3:1 @ For, behold, in those days and at that time, when I shall have turned the captivity of Juda and Jerusalem,
bes@Joel:3:2 @ I will also gather all the (note:)Or, nations; See Mt strkjv@25:31(:note) Gentiles, and bring them down to the valley of Josaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and my heritage Israel, who have been dispersed among the Gentiles; and these Gentiles have divided my land,
bes@Joel:3:3 @ and cast lots over my people, and have given their boys to harlots, and sold their girls for wine, and have drunk.
bes@Joel:3:4 @ And what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all Galilee of the (note:)allofulwn, usually Philistines(:note) Gentiles? do ye render me a recompense? or do ye bear malice against me? quickly and speedily will I return your recompense on your own heads:
bes@Joel:3:5 @ because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and ye have brought my choice ornaments into your temples;
bes@Joel:3:6 @ and ye have sold the children of Juda and the children of Jerusalem to the children of the Greeks, that ye might expel them from their coasts.
bes@Joel:3:7 @ Therefore, behold, I will raise them up out of the place whither ye have sold them, and I will return your recompense on your own heads.
bes@Joel:3:8 @ And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Juda, and they shall sell them into captivity to a far distant nation: for the Lord has spoken it.
bes@Joel:3:9 @ Proclaim these things among the Gentiles; (note:)Gr. sanctify(:note) declare war, arouse the warriors, draw near and go up, all ye men of war.
bes@Joel:3:10 @ Beat your ploughshares into swords, and your sickles into (note:)Or, daggers(:note) spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
bes@Joel:3:11 @ Gather yourselves together, and go in, all ye nations round about, and gather yourselves there; let the (note:)Gr. meek(:note) timid become a warrior.
bes@Joel:3:12 @ Let them be aroused, let all the nations go up to the valley of Josaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the Gentiles round about.
bes@Joel:3:13 @ Bring forth the sickles, for the vintage is come: go in, tread the grapes, for the press is full: cause the vats to overflow; for their wickedness is multiplied.
bes@Joel:3:14 @ Noises have resounded in the valley of judgement: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of judgement.
bes@Joel:3:15 @ The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light.
bes@Joel:3:16 @ And the Lord shall cry out of Sion, and shall utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heaven and the earth shall be shaken, but the Lord shall spare his people, and shall strengthen the children of Israel.
