Joel 3

1 "For, behold, in those days,

2 I will gather all nations,

3 and have cast lots for my people,

4 "Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre and Sidon,

5 Because you have taken my silver and my gold,

6 and have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks,

7 Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them,

8 and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah,

9 Proclaim this amongst the nations:

10 Beat your ploughshares into swords,

11 Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations,

12 "Let the nations arouse themselves,

13 Put in the sickle;

14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!

15 The sun and the moon are darkened,

16 The LORD will roar from Zion,

17 "So you will know that I am the LORD, your God,

18 It will happen in that day,

19 Egypt will be a desolation

20 But Judah will be inhabited forever,

21 I will cleanse their blood
