Joel 3

The Nations Will Be Judged

1

1For beholdh2009,  ain thoseh1992a daysh3117 and at that timeh6256, Whenh834 I  brestoreh7725 the fortunesh7622 of Judahh3063 and Jerusalemh3389,

2

I will  agatherh6908 allh3605 the nationsh1471 And bringh3381 them downh3381 to the  bvalleyh6010 of  1Jehoshaphath3092. Then I will  centerh8199 into judgmenth8199 with them thereh8033 On behalfh5921 of My peopleh5971a and My inheritanceh5159, Israelh3478, Whomh834 they have  dscatteredh6340 among the nationsh1471; And they have  edividedh2505a up My landh776.

3

"They have also  acasth3032 lotsh1486 for My peopleh5971a,  1 bTradedh5414 a boyh3206 for a harloth2181 And soldh4376 a girlh3207 for wineh3196 that they may drinkh8354.

4

"Moreoverh1571, whath4100 are you to Me, O  aTyreh6865, Sidonh6721 and allh3605 the regionsh1552 of  bPhilistiah6429? Are you renderingh7999a Me a recompenseh1576? But ifh518 you do recompenseh1580 Me, swiftlyh7031 and speedilyh4120 I will  creturnh7725 your recompenseh1576 on your headh7218.

5

"Sinceh834 you have  atakenh3947 My silverh3701 and My goldh2091, broughth935 My precioush4261  1treasuresh4261 to your templesh1964,

6

and soldh4376 the  asonsh1121 of Judahh3063 and Jerusalemh3389 to the  1Greeksh3125 in orderh4616 to removeh7368 them farh7368 from their territoryh1366,

7

beholdh2009, I am going to  aarouseh5782 them from the placeh4725 whereh834h8033 you have soldh4376 them, and returnh7725 your recompenseh1576 on your headh7218.

8

"Also I will  asellh4376 your sonsh1121 and your daughtersh1323 into the handh3027 of the sonsh1121 of Judahh3063, and they will sellh4376 them to the  bSabeansh7615, to a distanth7350 nationh1471," for the LORDh3068 has spokenh1696.

9

 aProclaimh7121 thish2088 among the nationsh1471:  bPrepareh6942 a warh4421;  crouseh5782 the mightyh1368 menh1368! Let allh3605 the soldiersh582h4421 drawh5066 nearh5066, let them comeh5927 up!

10

 aBeath3807 your plowsharesh855a into swordsh2719 And your pruningh4211 hooksh4211 into spearsh7420;  bLet the weakh2523 sayh559, "I am a mightyh1368 manh1368."

11

 1 aHastenh5789 and comeh935, allh3605 you surroundingh5439 nationsh1471, And gatherh6908 yourselves thereh8033. Bringh5181 downh5181, O LORDh3068, Your  bmightyh1368 onesh1368.

12

Let the nationsh1471 be arousedh5782 And comeh5927 up to the  avalleyh6010 of  1Jehoshaphath3092, For thereh8033 I will sith3427 to  bjudgeh8199 Allh3605 the surroundingh5439 nationsh1471.

13

 aPuth7971 in the sickleh4038, for the  bharvesth7105a is ripeh1310. Comeh935,  ctreadh3381, for the  dwineh1660 pressh1660 is fullh4390; The vatsh3342 overflowh7783, for their  ewickednessh7463a is greath7227a.

14

 aMultitudesh1995, multitudesh1995 in the  bvalleyh6010 of  1decisionh2742b! For the  cdayh3117 of the LORDh3068 is nearh7138 in the valleyh6010 of  1decisionh2742b.

15

The  asunh8121 and moonh3394 growh6937 darkh6937 And the starsh3556 loseh622 their brightnessh5051.

16

The LORDh3068  aroarsh7580 from Zionh6726 And  buttersh5414 His voiceh6963 from Jerusalemh3389, And the  cheavensh8064 and the earthh776 trembleh7493. But the LORDh3068 is a  drefugeh4268 for His peopleh5971a And a  estrongholdh4581 to the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478.

17

Then you will  aknowh3045 that I am the LORDh3068 your Godh430, Dwellingh7931 in Zionh6726, My  bholyh6944 mountainh2022. So Jerusalemh3389 will be  cholyh6944, And  dstrangersh2114a will passh5674a through it noh3808 moreh5750.

Judah Will Be Blessed

18

And in that dayh3117 The  amountainsh2022 will driph5197 with  1sweeth6071 wineh6071, And the hillsh1389 will  bflowh1980 with milkh2461, And allh3605 the  cbrooksh650 of Judahh3063 will flowh1980 with waterh4325; And a  dspringh4599 will goh3318 out from the househ1004 of the LORDh3068 To waterh8248 the valleyh5158a of  2Shittimh7851.

19

Egypth4714 will becomeh1961 a wasteh8077, And Edomh112b will becomeh1961 a desolateh8077 wildernessh4057b, Becauseh4480 of the  aviolenceh2555  1done to the sonsh1121 of Judahh3063, In whoseh834 landh776 they have shedh8210 innocenth5355b bloodh1818.

20

But Judahh3063 will be  ainhabitedh3427 foreverh5769 And Jerusalemh3389 for allh1755 generationsh1755.

21

And I will  aavengeh5352 their bloodh1818 which I have not avengedh5352, For the LORDh3068 dwellsh7931 in Zionh6726.
