1For, behold, in those days3117, and in that time6256, when I shall bring again7725 7725 the captivity7622 of Judah3063 and Jerusalem3389,
2I will also gather6908 all nations1471, and will bring them down3381 into the valley6010 of Jehoshaphat3092, and will plead8199 with them there for my people5971 and for my heritage5159 Israel3478, whom they have scattered6340 among the nations1471, and parted2505 my land776.
3And they have cast3032 lots1486 for my people5971; and have given5414 a boy3206 for an harlot2181, and sold4376 a girl3207 for wine3196, that they might drink8354.
4Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre6865, and Zidon6721, and all the coasts1552 of Palestine6429? will ye render7999 me a recompence1576? and if ye recompense1580 me, swiftly7031 and speedily4120 will I return7725 your recompence1576 upon your own head7218;
5Because ye have taken3947 my silver3701 and my gold2091, and have carried935 into your temples1964 my goodly2896 pleasant things4261:
6The children1121 also of Judah3063 and the children1121 of Jerusalem3389 have ye sold4376 unto the Grecians3125 1121, that ye might remove them far7368 from their border1366.
7Behold, I will raise5782 them out of the place4725 whither ye have sold4376 them, and will return7725 your recompence1576 upon your own head7218:
8And I will sell4376 your sons1121 and your daughters1323 into the hand3027 of the children1121 of Judah3063, and they shall sell4376 them to the Sabeans7615, to a people1471 far off7350: for the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 it.
9Proclaim7121 ye this among the Gentiles1471; Prepare6942 war4421, wake up5782 the mighty men1368, let all the men582 of war4421 draw near5066; let them come up5927:
10Beat3807 your plowshares855 into swords2719, and your pruninghooks4211 into spears7420: let the weak2523 say559, I am strong1368.
11Assemble5789 yourselves, and come935, all ye heathen1471, and gather yourselves together6908 round about5439: thither cause thy mighty ones1368 to come down5181, O LORD3068.
12Let the heathen1471 be wakened5782, and come up5927 to the valley6010 of Jehoshaphat3092: for there will I sit3427 to judge8199 all the heathen1471 round about5439.
13Put7971 ye in the sickle4038, for the harvest7105 is ripe1310: come935, get you down3381; for the press1660 is full4390, the fats3342 overflow7783; for their wickedness7451 is great7227.
14Multitudes1995, multitudes1995 in the valley6010 of decision2742: for the day3117 of the LORD3068 is near7138 in the valley6010 of decision2742.
15The sun8121 and the moon3394 shall be darkened6937, and the stars3556 shall withdraw622 their shining5051.
16The LORD3068 also shall roar7580 out of Zion6726, and utter5414 his voice6963 from Jerusalem3389; and the heavens8064 and the earth776 shall shake7493: but the LORD3068 will be the hope4268 of his people5971, and the strength4581 of the children1121 of Israel3478.
17So shall ye know3045 that I am the LORD3068 your God430 dwelling7931 in Zion6726, my holy6944 mountain2022: then shall Jerusalem3389 be holy6944, and there shall no strangers2114 pass through5674 her any more.
18And it shall come to pass in that day3117, that the mountains2022 shall drop down5197 new wine6071, and the hills1389 shall flow3212 with milk2461, and all the rivers650 of Judah3063 shall flow3212 with waters4325, and a fountain4599 shall come forth3318 of the house1004 of the LORD3068, and shall water8248 the valley5158 of Shittim7851.
19Egypt4714 shall be a desolation8077, and Edom123 shall be a desolate8077 wilderness4057, for the violence2555 against the children1121 of Judah3063, because they have shed8210 innocent5355 blood1818 in their land776.
20But Judah3063 shall dwell3427 for ever5769, and Jerusalem3389 from generation1755 to generation1755.
21For I will cleanse5352 their blood1818 that I have not cleansed5352: for the LORD3068 dwelleth7931 in Zion6726.
