Joel 3:1-21 NASB

[1] “For behold, in those days and at that time, When I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, [2] I will gather all the nations And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; And they have divided up My land. [3] “They have also cast lots for My people, Traded a boy for a prostitute, And sold a girl for wine so that they may drink. [4] Moreover, what are you to Me, Tyre, Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you repaying Me with retribution? But if you are showing Me retribution, swiftly and speedily I will return your retribution on your head! [5] Since you have taken My silver and My gold, brought My precious treasures to your temples, [6] and sold the sons of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks in order to remove them far from their territory, [7] behold, I am going to stir them up from the place where you have sold them, and return your retribution on your head. [8] I will also sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a distant nation,” for the Lord has spoken. [9] Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for holy war; stir up the warriors! Have all the soldiers come forward, have them come up! [10] Beat your plowshares into swords, And your pruning hooks into spears; Let the weak man say, “I am a warrior.” [11] Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, And gather yourselves there. Bring down, Lord, Your warriors. [12] Let the nations be awakened And come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I will sit to judge All the surrounding nations. [13] Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread the grapes, for the wine press is full; The vats overflow, for their wickedness is great. [14] Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. [15] The sun and moon have become dark, And the stars have lost their brightness. [16] The Lord roars from Zion And utters His voice from Jerusalem, And the heavens and the earth quake. But the Lord is a refuge for His people, And a stronghold for the sons of Israel. [17] Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, Dwelling on Zion, My holy mountain. So Jerusalem will be holy, And strangers will no longer pass through it. [18] And on that day The mountains will drip with sweet wine, And the hills will flow with milk, And all the brooks of Judah will flow with water; And a spring will go out from the house of the Lord And water the Valley of Shittim. [19] Egypt will become a wasteland, And Edom will become a desolate wilderness, Because of the violence done to the sons of Judah, In whose land they have shed innocent blood. [20] But Judah will be inhabited forever, And Jerusalem for all generations. [21] And I will avenge their blood which I have not avenged, For the Lord dwells in Zion.
