Yahweh Will Judge the Nations
“1For behold, ain those days and at that time,When I brestore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,2 I will agather all the nationsAnd bring them down to the bvalley of 1Jehoshaphat.Then I will center into judgment with them thereOn behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel,Whom they have dscattered among the nations;And they have edivided up My land.3 “They have also acast lots for My people,1bTraded a boy for a harlot,And sold a girl for wine that they may drink.

4 Moreover, what are you to Me, O aTyre, Sidon, and all the regions of bPhilistia? Are you rendering Me a recompense? But if you do recompense Me, swiftly and speedily I will creturn your recompense on your head. 5 Since you have ataken My silver and My gold, brought My desirable 1treasures to your temples, 6 and sold the asons of Judah and the sons of Jerusalem to the sons of the 1Greeks in order to remove them far from their borders, 7 behold, I am going to arouse them from the place where you have sold them and return your recompense on your head. 8 Also I will asell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the bSabeans, to a distant nation,” for Yahweh has spoken.

9 aCall out this message among the nations:bSet yourselves apart for a war; crouse the mighty men!Let all the men of war approach, let them come up!10 aBeat your plowshares into swordsAnd your pruning hooks into spears;bLet the weak say, “I am a mighty man.”11 1aHasten and come, all you surrounding nations,And gather yourselves.There, bring down, O Yahweh, Your bmighty ones.12 Let the nations be roused upAnd come up to the avalley of 1Jehoshaphat,For there I will sit to bjudgeAll the surrounding nations.13 aSend in the sickle, for the bharvest is ripe.Come, 1ctread, for the dwine press is full;The vats overflow, for their eevil is great.14 aMultitudes, multitudes in the bvalley of 1decision!For the cday of Yahweh is near in the valley of 2decision.15 The asun and moon grow dark,And the stars lose their brightness.16 And Yahweh aroars from ZionAnd bgives forth His voice from Jerusalem,And the cheavens and the earth quake.But Yahweh is a drefuge for His peopleAnd a estrong defense to the sons of Israel.17 Then you will aknow that I am Yahweh your God,Dwelling in Zion, My bholy mountain.So Jerusalem will be choly,And dstrangers will pass through it no more.
Yahweh Dwells in Zion
18 And it will be in that day,That the amountains will drip with 1sweet wine,And the hills will bflow with milk,And all the cbrooks of Judah will flow with water;And a dspring will go out from the house of YahwehTo water the valley of 2Shittim.19 Egypt will become a desolation,And Edom will become a desolate wilderness,Because of the aviolence 1done to the sons of Judah,In whose land they have shed innocent blood.20 But Judah will be ainhabited foreverAnd Jerusalem from generation to generation.21 And I will aavenge their blood which I have not avenged,Indeed, Yahweh dwells in Zion.
