Joel 3:3

Context

3:3 and they cast lots for my people.

They traded 1  a boy for a prostitute;

they sold a little girl for wine so they could drink. 2 

1 tn Heb “gave.”

2 sn Heb “and they drank.” Joel vividly refers to a situation where innocent human life has little value; its only worth is its use in somehow satisfying selfish appetites of wicked people who have control over others (cf. Amos 2:6 and 8:6).
