*
I will also gather all nations ,
And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat ;
And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people ,
My heritage Israel ,
Whom they have scattered among the nations ;
They have also divided up My land .
*
They have cast lots for My people ,
Have given a boy as payment for a harlot ,
And sold a girl for wine ,
that they may drink .
* "
Indeed ,
what have you to do with Me ,
O Tyre and Sidon ,
and all the coasts of Philistia ?
Will you retaliate against Me ?
But if you retaliate against Me ,
Swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head ;
*
Because you have taken My silver and My gold ,
And have carried into your temples My prized possessions .
*
Also the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem You have sold to the Greeks ,
That you may remove them far from their borders .
* "
Behold ,
I will raise them Out of the place to which you have sold them ,
And will return your retaliation upon your own head .
*
I will sell your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the people of Judah ,
And they will sell them to the Sabeans ,
To a people far off ;
For the LORD has spoken ."
*
Proclaim this among the nations : "
Prepare for war !
Wake up the mighty men ,
Let all the men of war draw near ,
Let them come up .
*
Beat your plowshares into swords And your pruning hooks into spears ;
Let the weak say , "
I am strong ."'
*
Assemble and come ,
all you nations ,
And gather together all around .
Cause Your mighty ones to go down there ,
O LORD .
* "
Let the nations be wakened ,
and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat ;
For there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations .
*
Put in the sickle ,
for the harvest is ripe .
Come ,
go down ;
For the winepress is full ,
The vats overflow --
For their wickedness is great ."
*
Multitudes ,
multitudes in the valley of decision !
For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision .
*
The sun and moon will grow dark ,
And the stars will diminish their brightness .
