Joel 3:9-17

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 9 (4:9) Proclaim ye this among the nations, prepare war; stir up the mighty men; let all the men of war draw near, let them come up. 10 (4:10) Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning-hooks into spears; let the weak say: 'I am strong.' 11 (4:11) Haste ye, and come, all ye nations round about, and gather yourselves together; thither cause Thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD! 12 (4:12) Let the nations be stirred up, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the nations round about. 13 (4:13) Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; come, tread ye, for the winepress is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great. 14 (4:14) Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. 15 (4:15) The sun and the moon are become black, and the stars withdraw their shining. 16 (4:16) And the LORD shall roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth shall shake; but the LORD will be a refuge unto His people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel. 17 (4:17) 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.
