" 1For behold, ain those
days
and at that time
, When
I brestore
the fortunes
of Judah
and Jerusalem
,
I will agather all
the nations
And bring
them down
to the bvalley
of 1Jehoshaphat
. Then I will center
into judgment
with them there
On behalf
of My people
and My inheritance
, Israel
, Whom
they have dscattered
among the nations
; And they have edivided
up My land
.
"They have also acast lots
for My people
, 1 bTraded
a boy
for a harlot
And sold
a girl
for wine
that they may drink
.
"Moreover, what
are you to Me, O aTyre
, Sidon
and all
the regions
of bPhilistia
? Are you rendering
Me a recompense
? But if
you do recompense
Me, swiftly
and speedily
I will creturn
your recompense
on your head
.
"Since you have ataken
My silver
and My gold
, brought
My precious
1treasures
to your temples
,
and sold the asons
of Judah
and Jerusalem
to the 1Greeks
in order
to remove
them far
from their territory
,
behold, I am going to aarouse
them from the place
where
you have sold
them, and return
your recompense
on your head
.
"Also I will asell your sons
and your daughters
into the hand
of the sons
of Judah
, and they will sell
them to the bSabeans
, to a distant
nation
," for the LORD
has spoken
.
aProclaim this
among the nations
: bPrepare
a war
; crouse
the mighty
men
! Let all
the soldiers
draw
near
, let them come
up!
aBeat your plowshares
into swords
And your pruning
hooks
into spears
; bLet the weak
say
, "I am a mighty
man
."
1 aHasten and come
, all
you surrounding
nations
, And gather
yourselves there
. Bring
down
, O LORD
, Your bmighty
ones
.
Let the nations be aroused
And come
up to the avalley
of 1Jehoshaphat
, For there
I will sit
to bjudge
All
the surrounding
nations
.
aPut in the sickle
, for the bharvest
is ripe
. Come
, ctread
, for the dwine
press
is full
; The vats
overflow
, for their ewickedness
is great
.
aMultitudes, multitudes
in the bvalley
of 1decision
! For the cday
of the LORD
is near
in the valley
of 1decision
.
The asun and moon
grow
dark
And the stars
lose
their brightness
.
The LORD aroars
from Zion
And butters
His voice
from Jerusalem
, And the cheavens
and the earth
tremble
. But the LORD
is a drefuge
for His people
And a estronghold
to the sons
of Israel
.
Then you will aknow that I am the LORD
your God
, Dwelling
in Zion
, My bholy
mountain
. So Jerusalem
will be choly
, And dstrangers
will pass
through it no
more
.
And in that day The amountains
will drip
with 1sweet
wine
, And the hills
will bflow
with milk
, And all
the cbrooks
of Judah
will flow
with water
; And a dspring
will go
out from the house
of the LORD
To water
the valley
of 2Shittim
.
Egypt will become
a waste
, And Edom
will become
a desolate
wilderness
, Because
of the aviolence
1done to the sons
of Judah
, In whose
land
they have shed
innocent
blood
.
But Judah will be ainhabited
forever
And Jerusalem
for all
generations
.
And I will aavenge their blood
which I have not avenged
, For the LORD
dwells
in Zion
.
