For, behold, in those days,
and in that time,
when I shall bring again
the captivity
of Judah
and Jerusalem,
I will also gather
all nations,
and will bring them down
into the valley
of Jehoshaphat,
and will plead
with them there for my people
and for my heritage
Israel,
whom they have scattered
among the nations,
and parted
my land.

And they have cast
lots
for my people;
and have given
a boy
for an harlot,
and sold
a girl
for wine,
that they might drink.
Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre,
and Zidon,
and all the coasts
of Palestine?
will ye render
me a recompence?
and if ye recompense
me, swiftly
and speedily
will I return
your recompence
upon your own head;

Because ye have taken
my silver
and my gold,
and have carried
into your temples
my goodly
pleasant things:
The children
also of Judah
and the children
of Jerusalem
have ye sold
unto the Grecians,
that ye might remove them far
from their border.
Behold, I will raise
them out of the place
whither ye have sold
them, and will return
your recompence
upon your own head:
And I will sell
your sons
and your daughters
into the hand
of the children
of Judah,
and they shall sell
them to the Sabeans,
to a people
far off:
for the LORD
hath spoken
it.
Proclaim
ye this among the Gentiles;
Prepare
war,
wake up
the mighty men,
let all the men
of war
draw near;
let them come up:
Beat
your plowshares
into swords,
and your pruninghooks
into spears:
let the weak
say,
I am strong.
Assemble
yourselves, and come,
all ye heathen,
and gather yourselves together
round about:
thither cause thy mighty ones
to come down,
O LORD.
Let the heathen
be wakened,
and come up
to the valley
of Jehoshaphat:
for there will I sit
to judge
all the heathen
round about.
Put
ye in the sickle,
for the harvest
is ripe:
come,
get you down;
for the press
is full,
the fats
overflow;
for their wickedness
is great.

Multitudes,
multitudes
in the valley

for the day
of the LORD
is near
in the valley
of decision.
The sun
and the moon
shall be darkened,
and the stars
shall withdraw
their shining.
The LORD
also shall roar
out of Zion,
and utter
his voice
from Jerusalem;
and the heavens
and the earth
shall shake:
but the LORD
will be the hope
of his people,
and the strength
of the children
of Israel.
So shall ye know
that I am the LORD
your God
dwelling
in Zion,
my holy
mountain:
then shall Jerusalem
be holy,
and there shall no strangers
pass through
her any more.
And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the mountains
shall drop down
new wine,
and the hills
shall flow
with milk,
and all the rivers
of Judah
shall flow
with waters,
and a fountain
shall come forth
of the house
of the LORD,
and shall water
the valley
of Shittim.

But Judah

For I will cleanse

that I have not cleansed:

in Zion.
