The Lord Judges the Nations

1 ^a"For behold, ¹in those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

2 ²I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And ³I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land,

3 and ⁴have cast lots for my people, and have traded a boy for a prostitute, and have sold a girl for wine and have drunk it.

4 "What are you to me, ⁵O Tyre and Sidon, and all ⁶the regions of Philistia? Are you paying me back for something? If you are paying me back, ⁷I will return your payment on your own head swiftly and speedily.

5 For ⁸you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my rich treasures into your temples.^b

6 You have sold ⁹the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks in order to remove them far from their own border.

7 Behold, I will stir them up from the place to which you have sold them, and ¹⁰I will return your payment on your own head.

8 I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the ¹¹Sabeans, to a nation far away, for the LORD has spoken."

9 Proclaim this among the nations: ¹²Consecrate for war;^c stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near; let them come up.

10 ¹³Beat your plowshares into swords, and ¹⁴your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, "I am a warrior."

11 ¹⁵Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves there. ¹⁶Bring down your warriors, O LORD.

12 Let the nations stir themselves up and come up to ¹⁷the Valley of Jehoshaphat; ¹⁸for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.

13 ¹⁹Put in the sickle, ²⁰for the harvest is ripe. ²¹Go in, tread, ²²for the winepress is full. The vats overflow, for their evil is great.

14 Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision! For ²³the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

15 ²⁴The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.

16 ²⁵The LORD roars from Zion, and ²⁶utters his voice from Jerusalem, ²⁷and the heavens and the earth quake. But the LORD is ²⁸a refuge to his people, a stronghold to the people of Israel.
