Joel 3:1-8
Yahweh Will Judge the Nations
3“1For behold, ain those days and at that time,When I brestore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,2I 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,1,bTraded 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, 6and 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, 7behold, 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.
