Joel 3:1-21

For, behold, in those days
<03117>_,
and in that time
<06256>_,
when I shall bring again
<07725> (8686) (8675) <07725> (8799)
the captivity
<07622>
of Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_,
I will also gather
<06908> (8765)
all nations
<01471>_,
and will bring them down
<03381> (8689)
into the valley
<06010>
of Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
and will plead
<08199> (8738)
with them there for my people
<05971>
and [for] my heritage
<05159>
Israel
<03478>_,
whom they have scattered
<06340> (8765)
among the nations
<01471>_,
and parted
<02505> (8765)
my land
<0776>_.
And they have cast
<03032> (8804)
lots
<01486>
for my people
<05971>_;
and have given
<05414> (8799)
a boy
<03206>
for an harlot
<02181> (8802)_,
and sold
<04376> (8804)
a girl
<03207>
for wine
<03196>_,
that they might drink
<08354> (8799)_.
Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre
<06865>_,
and Zidon
<06721>_,
and all the coasts
<01552>
of Palestine
<06429>_?
will ye render
<07999> (8764)
me a recompence
<01576>_?
and if ye recompense
<01580> (8802)
me, swiftly
<07031>
[and] speedily
<04120>
will I return
<07725> (8686)
your recompence
<01576>
upon your own head
<07218>_;
Because ye have taken
<03947> (8804)
my silver
<03701>
and my gold
<02091>_,
and have carried
<0935> (8689)
into your temples
<01964>
my goodly
<02896>
pleasant things
<04261>_:
{pleasant: Heb. desirable}
The children
<01121>
also of Judah
<03063>
and the children
<01121>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
have ye sold
<04376> (8804)
unto the Grecians
<03125> <01121>_,
that ye might remove them far
<07368> (8687)
from their border
<01366>_.
{the Grecians: Heb. the sons of the Grecians}
Behold, I will raise
<05782> (8688)
them out of the place
<04725>
whither ye have sold
<04376> (8804)
them, and will return
<07725> (8689)
your recompence
<01576>
upon your own head
<07218>_:
And I will sell
<04376> (8804)
your sons
<01121>
and your daughters
<01323>
into the hand
<03027>
of the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and they shall sell
<04376> (8804)
them to the Sabeans
<07615>_,
to a people
<01471>
far off
<07350>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it].
Proclaim
<07121> (8798)
ye this among the Gentiles
<01471>_;
Prepare
<06942> (8761)
war
<04421>_,
wake up
<05782> (8685)
the mighty men
<01368>_,
let all the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>
draw near
<05066> (8799)_;
let them come up
<05927> (8799)_:
{Prepare: Heb. Sanctify}
Beat
<03807> (8798)
your plowshares
<0855>
into swords
<02719>_,
and your pruninghooks
<04211>
into spears
<07420>_:
let the weak
<02523>
say
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] strong
<01368>_.
{pruninghooks: or, scythes}
Assemble
<05789> (8798)
yourselves, and come
<0935> (8798)_,
all ye heathen
<01471>_,
and gather yourselves together
<06908> (8738)
round about
<05439>_:
thither cause thy mighty ones
<01368>
to come down
<05181> (8685)_,
O LORD
<03068>_.
{cause...: or, the LORD shall bring down}
Let the heathen
<01471>
be wakened
<05782> (8735)_,
and come up
<05927> (8799)
to the valley
<06010>
of Jehoshaphat
<03092>_:
for there will I sit
<03427> (8799)
to judge
<08199> (8800)
all the heathen
<01471>
round about
<05439>_.
Put
<07971> (8798)
ye in the sickle
<04038>_,
for the harvest
<07105>
is ripe
<01310> (8804)_:
come
<0935> (8798)_,
get you down
<03381> (8798)_;
for the press
<01660>
is full
<04390> (8804)_,
the fats
<03342>
overflow
<07783> (8689)_;
for their wickedness
<07451>
[is] great
<07227>_.
Multitudes
<01995>_,
multitudes
<01995>
in the valley
<06010>
of decision
<02742>_:
for the day
<03117>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] near
<07138>
in the valley
<06010>
of decision
<02742>_.
{decision: or, concision, or, threshing}
The sun
<08121>
and the moon
<03394>
shall be darkened
<06937> (8804)_,
and the stars
<03556>
shall withdraw
<0622> (8804)
their shining
<05051>_.
The LORD
<03068>
also shall roar
<07580> (8799)
out of Zion
<06726>_,
and utter
<05414> (8799)
his voice
<06963>
from Jerusalem
<03389>_;
and the heavens
<08064>
and the earth
<0776>
shall shake
<07493> (8804)_:
but the LORD
<03068>
[will be] the hope
<04268>
of his people
<05971>_,
and the strength
<04581>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{hope: Heb. place of repair, or, harbour}
So shall ye know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>
dwelling
<07931> (8802)
in Zion
<06726>_,
my holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>_:
then shall Jerusalem
<03389>
be holy
<06944>_,
and there shall no strangers
<02114> (8801)
pass through
<05674> (8799)
her any more. {holy: Heb. holiness}
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] the mountains
<02022>
shall drop down
<05197> (8799)
new wine
<06071>_,
and the hills
<01389>
shall flow
<03212> (8799)
with milk
<02461>_,
and all the rivers
<0650>
of Judah
<03063>
shall flow
<03212> (8799)
with waters
<04325>_,
and a fountain
<04599>
shall come forth
<03318> (8799)
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and shall water
<08248> (8689)
the valley
<05158>
of Shittim
<07851>_.
{flow: Heb. go}
Egypt
<04714>
shall be a desolation
<08077>_,
and Edom
<0123>
shall be a desolate
<08077>
wilderness
<04057>_,
for the violence
<02555>
[against] the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>_,
because they have shed
<08210> (8804)
innocent
<05355>
blood
<01818>
in their land
<0776>_.
But Judah
<03063>
shall dwell
<03427> (8799)
for ever
<05769>_,
and Jerusalem
<03389>
from generation
<01755>
to generation
<01755>_.
{dwell: or, abide}
For I will cleanse
<05352> (8765)
their blood
<01818>
[that] I have not cleansed
<05352> (8765)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
dwelleth
<07931> (8802)
in Zion
<06726>_.
{for the...: or, even I the LORD that}
