3 For in those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 then I will gather all nations and bring them down into the Judgment Valley, where I shall assign them their doom for the treatment of my people and of Israel my heritage, because they scattered my people among the pagans and divided up my land; 3 they cast lots for my people, bartering a boy to pay for a harlot and selling a girl for wine to drink. 4 What did you mean by it, you, O Tyre, Sidon and all Philistia? Were you taking my part, as you wreaked your vengeance? Avenging me! I will avenge your action swiftly and speedily on your own heads, 5 for seizing my silver and gold and for bearing off my costly jewels to your temples. 6 You sold the folk of Judah and Jerusalem as slaves to the Greeks, to remove them far, far from their own country. 7 So now I stir them up from the lands where you sold them; I will avenge your action on your own heads 8 by selling your sons and daughters into the hands of the Judaeans, and they shall sell them as slaves to the Sabaeans, a remote nation (so the Eternal decrees).
9 Proclaim this to the nations:
‘Let it be war! Rouse up your warriors,
muster your fighting me, march!
10 Hammer your ploughshares into swords,
your pruning-hooks into lances.
Let your weaklings think them warriors,
let your cowards think them heroes!’
11 Let the nations rouse themselves
and march to Judgment Valley,
12 for I will sit in judgment there
on all the nations round.
13 In with the sickle!–
the harvest is ripe!
Come, tread the winepress, tread it,
it is full,
the troughs are overflowing
with their wickedness,
14 What a din of hordes, what a din
within the valley of the Verdict!
For the Eternal’s day is near,
within the valley of the Verdict.
15 Dark the sun and moon,
the stars have ceased to shine,
16 and the Eternal thunders out of Sion,
loudly from Jerusalem;
heaven and earth are shaking,
but the Eternal is a refuge for his own folk,
a stronghold for the sons of Israel.
17 ’Twill teach you that I am the Eternal One, your God,
dwelling in Sion, on my sacred hill;
Jerusalem shall be inviolate then,
never shall aliens invade her again.
18 Then thus shall it be:
the mountains shall drip wine,
the hills shall be aflow with milk,
and all the brooks of Judah run with water;
from the Eternal’s house shall pour a stream
to water the wady of Acacias.
19 Egypt shall be lying desolate,
Edom a desert stretch,
for their outrage to the men of Judah,
21a for the innocent blood shed in their land,
blood that I avenge at last;
20 but Judah shall for ever be inhabited,
Jerusalem from age to age,
21b and evermore the Eternal dwells in Sion.
