Joël 3

1For, behold, in those days^H3117, and in that time^H6256, when I shall bring back^H7725 the captivity^H7622 of Judah^H3063 and Jerusalem^H3389, 2I will gather^H6908 all nations^H1471, and will bring them down^H3381 into the valley^H6010 of Jehoshaphat^H3092; and I will execute judgment^H8199 upon them there for my people^H5971 and for my heritage^H5159 Israel^H3478, whom they have scattered^H6340 among the nations^H1471: and they have parted^H2505 my land^H776, 3and have cast^H3032 lots^H1486 for my people^H5971, and have given^H5414 a boy^H3206 for a harlot^H2181, and sold^H4376 a girl^H3207 for wine^H3196, that they may drink^H8354. 4Yea, and what are ye to me, O Tyre^H6865, and Sidon^H6721, and all the regions^H1552 of Philistia^H6429? will ye render^H7999 me a recompense^H1576? and if ye recompense^H1580 me, swiftly^H7031 and speedily^H4120 will I return^H7725 your recompense^H1576 upon your own head^H7218. 5Forasmuch as ye have taken^H3947 my silver^H3701 and my gold^H2091, and have carried^H935 into your temples^H1964 my goodly^H2896 precious things^H4261, 6and have sold^H4376 the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063 and the children^H1121 of Jerusalem^H3389 unto the sons of the Grecians^H3125, that ye may remove them far^H7368 from their border^H1366; 7behold, I will stir^H5782 them up out of the place^H4725 whither ye have sold^H4376 them, and will return^H7725 your recompense^H1576 upon your own head^H7218; 8and I will sell^H4376 your sons^H1121 and your daughters^H1323 into the hand^H3027 of the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063, and they shall sell^H4376 them to the men of Sheba^H7615, to a nation^H1471 far off^H7350: for Jehovah^H3068 hath spoken^H1696 it. 9Proclaim^H7121 ye this among the nations^H1471; prepare^H6942 war^H4421; stir up^H5782 the mighty men^H1368; let all the men^H582 of war^H4421 draw near^H5066, let them come up^H5927. 10Beat^H3807 your plowshares^H855 into swords^H2719, and your pruning-hooks^H4211 into spears^H7420: let the weak^H2523 say^H559, I am strong^H1368. 11Haste^H5789 ye, and come^H935, all ye nations^H1471 round about, and gather yourselves together^H6908: thither^H5439 cause thy mighty ones^H1368 to come down^H5181, O Jehovah^H3068. 12Let the nations^H1471 bestir^H5782 themselves, and come up^H5927 to the valley^H6010 of Jehoshaphat^H3092; for there will I sit^H3427 to judge^H8199 all the nations^H1471 round about^H5439. 13Put^H7971 ye in the sickle^H4038; for the harvest^H7105 is ripe^H1310: come^H935, tread^H3381 ye; for the winepress^H1660 is full^H4390, the vats^H3342 overflow^H7783; for their wickedness^H7451 is great^H7227. 14Multitudes^H1995, multitudes^H1995 in the valley^H6010 of decision^H2742! for the day^H3117 of Jehovah^H3068 is near^H7138 in the valley^H6010 of decision^H2742. 15The sun^H8121 and the moon^H3394 are darkened^H6937, and the stars^H3556 withdraw^H622 their shining^H5051. 16And Jehovah^H3068 will roar^H7580 from Zion^H6726, and utter^H5414 his voice^H6963 from Jerusalem^H3389; and the heavens^H8064 and the earth^H776 shall shake^H7493: but Jehovah^H3068 will be a refuge^H4268 unto his people^H5971, and a stronghold^H4581 to the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478. 17So shall ye know^H3045 that I am Jehovah^H3068 your God^H430, dwelling^H7931 in Zion^H6726 my holy^H6944 mountain^H2022: then shall Jerusalem^H3389 be holy^H6944, and there shall no strangers^H2114 pass through^H5674 her any more. 18And it shall come to pass in that day^H3117, that the mountains^H2022 shall drop down^H5197 sweet wine^H6071, and the hills^H1389 shall flow^H3212 with milk^H2461, and all the brooks^H650 of Judah^H3063 shall flow^H3212 with waters^H4325; and a fountain^H4599 shall come forth^H3318 from the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068, and shall water^H8248 the valley^H5158 of Shittim^H7851. 19Egypt^H4714 shall be a desolation^H8077, and Edom^H123 shall be a desolate^H8077 wilderness^H4057, for the violence^H2555 done to the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063, because they have shed^H8210 innocent^H5355 blood^H1818 in their land^H776. 20But Judah^H3063 shall abide^H3427 for ever^H5769, and Jerusalem^H3389 from generation^H1755 to generation^H1755. 21And I will cleanse^H5352 their blood^H1818, that I have not cleansed^H5352: for Jehovah^H3068 dwelleth^H7931 in Zion^H6726.
