JOE-3:1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I
shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
JOE-3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down
into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there
for my people and [for] my heritage Israel, whom they have
scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
JOE-3:3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a
boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might
drink.
JOE-3:4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon,
and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompense?
and if ye recompense me, swiftly [and] speedily will I return
your recompense upon your own head;
JOE-3:5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have
carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
JOE-3:6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem
have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far
from their border.
JOE-3:7 Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye
have sold them, and will return your recompense upon your own
head:
JOE-3:8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the
hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the
Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken [it].
JOE-3:9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake
up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them
come up:
JOE-3:10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks
into spears: let the weak say, I [am] strong.
JOE-3:11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and
gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty
ones to come down, O LORD.
JOE-3:12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley
of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen
round about.
JOE-3:13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come,
get you down; for the press is full, the vats overflow; for
their wickedness [is] great.
JOE-3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for
the day of the LORD [is] near in the valley of decision.
JOE-3:15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars
shall withdraw their shining.
JOE-3:16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his
voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake:
but the LORD [will be] the hope of his people, and the strength
of the children of Israel.
JOE-3:17 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.
JOE-3:18 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the
mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow
with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters,
and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and
shall water the valley of Shittim.
JOE-3:19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a
desolate wilderness, for the violence [against] the children of
Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
JOE-3:20 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from
generation to generation.
JOE-3:21 For I will cleanse their blood [that] I have not
cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.
