Joel 3:9-17

Rotherham(i) 9 Proclaim ye this, among the nations, Hallow a war, rouse the mighty ones, let them draw near, come up, all the men of war! 10 Beat your plough–shares into swords, and your pruning–hooks into spears,––as for the weak, let him say, mighty, I am. 11 Give help––and come in, all ye nations on every side, and gather yourselves together,––Thither, bring down, O Yahweh, thy mighty ones! 12 Let the nations, be roused, and come up, into the Vale of Jehoshaphat,––for, there, will I sit to judge all the nations, on every side. 13 Thrust ye in the vintage knife, for, grown ripe, is the vintage,––Go in, tread down, for full is the winepress, flow over do the vats, for abundant is their wickedness. 14 Multitudes, multitudes, in the vale of strict decision,––for near is the day of Yahweh, in the vale of strict decision. 15 The sun and the moon, have become dark,––and, the stars, have withdrawn their shining, 16 And, Yahweh, out of Zion, will roar, and, out of Jerusalem, will utter his voice, and the heavens and the earth, shall tremble,––but, Yahweh, shall be a shelter to his people, and a refuge to the sons of Israel. 17 So shall ye know that, I, Yahweh, am your God, making my habitation in Zion my holy mountain,––So shall, Jerusalem, be, holy, and, foreigners, shall pass through her no more.
