On that day, when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,

I will gather all the people and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. There they will execute judgment, because they will scatter my people, my inheritance Israel, among the nations, and divide my land,

And cast lots for my people, to exchange the young boys for prostitutes, and to sell the young girls to buy wine and drink.

What do you have to do with me, Tyre, Sidon, and the people of the four borders of the Philistines. Are you going to retaliate against me? If you retaliate against me, I will quickly bring the retribution upon your heads.

Since you have taken my gold and silver and brought my beloved treasures into your palace,

And sold the Jews and the people of Jerusalem to the Greeks, to keep them far from their own borders.

I will stir them away from the land you have sold, and I will bring retribution upon your heads.

I will sell your children into the hands of Judah, and they will be sold to the people of Sheba far away. This is what the Lord has said.

Declare among the people that they will prepare for war. Exciting Warrior. Bring all the soldiers forward.

To turn the plow into a sword and the sickle into a spear. Those who are weak must say, I have courage.

Come quickly, O nations around you, gather together. O Lord, bring down your Mighty One.

Let all nations rise up and go up to the valley of Jehoshaphat. For I will sit there and judge the nations around me.

Let’s start the sickle. Because the crops are ripe. Tread on it. Because the wine press is full, the wine pool overflows. Their sins are great.

Many, many people are in the valley of judgment. Because the day of the Lord is approaching the valley of judgment.

The sun and moon are dim, and the stars have no light.

The Lord will roar from Zion and make a sound from Jerusalem. Heaven and earth tremble. But the Lord will be a refuge for his people and a fortress for the Israelites.

And you will know that I am the Lord your God, and that I dwell in Zion, my holy mountain. At that time, Jerusalem will become holy, and foreigners will no longer pass through it.

On that day, the mountains will drop sweet wine. The hills will flow with milk, and the streams of Judah will flow with water. A spring will flow out of the temple of the Lord, nourishing the valley of Shiting.

Egypt will be desolate, and Edom will become a desolate wilderness, all because of the violence committed against the Jews, and because of the innocent blood shed in the land.

But Judah will endure forever, and Jerusalem will endure for all generations.

I have never avenged the crime of bloodshed, and now I will seek revenge. Because the Lord resides in Zion.
