3 For behold, in those days and at that time,
when I return the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 then I will gather all of the nations,
and I will bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat,
and I will judge them there
because of my people and my inheritance, Israel,
whom they scattered among the nations,
and they divided up my land.
3 And they cast the lot for my people,
and they traded a boy for a prostitute,
and they sold a girl for wine,
and drank.
4 And indeed, what are you to me,
Tyre, Sidon, and all of the regions of Philistia?
Are you repaying a recompense to me?
And if you are recompensing me,
swiftly, speedily I will return your recompense upon your head,
5 because you took my silver and my gold,
and you brought my precious treasures into your temples.
6 And you sold the sons of Judah and the sons of Jerusalem to the sons of Javan,
in order to remove them far from their territory.
7 Behold me rousing them from the place where you sold them there,
and I will return your recompense onto your head.
8 For I will sell your sons and your daughters
into the hand of the sons of Judah,
and they will sell them to the Sabeans,
to a faraway nation.”
For Yahweh has spoken.
9 Proclaim this among the nations:
“Consecrate a war!
rouse the warriors!
may they approach:
may all of the men of war come up.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords
and your pruning hooks into spears.
Let the weak say,
‘I am strong.’
11 Hurry and come,
all of you surrounding nations,
and gather yourselves there.”
Yahweh, bring down your warriors!
12 “Let the nations rouse themselves
and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat,
for there will I sit to judge
all of the surrounding nations.
13 Stretch out the sickle,
for the harvest has ripened.
Come, go down,
for the winepress is full.
The vats overflow,
for their wickedness is great.”
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision,
for the day of Yahweh is near in the valley of decision!
15 The sun and the moon become dark,
and the stars withdraw their brightness.
16 Yahweh will roar from Zion,
and from Jerusalem he will utter his voice,
and the heavens and the earth will shake.
But Yahweh will be a shelter for his people
and a stronghold for the sons of Israel.
17 “Then you will know that I am Yahweh your God
living in Zion, the mountain of my holiness.
And Jerusalem will be holy,
and strangers will not pass through it again.
18 And it will be on that day,
the mountains will drip sweet wine,
and the hills will flow with milk,
and all of the brooks of Judah will flow with water,
and a spring will go forth from the house of Yahweh
and water the Valley of Shittim.
19 Egypt will become desolation,
and Edom will become a desolate wilderness
for the violence of the sons of Judah,
that they shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah will dwell forever,
and Jerusalem to generation and generation.
21 And I will acquit their blood that I have not acquitted,
for Yahweh is dwelling in Zion.”
