Joel 3:9-14 (Holman Christian Standard)
9
Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for holy war; rouse the warriors; let all the men of war advance and attack!
10
Hammer your plowshares into swords and your pruning knives into spears.a Let even the weakling say: I am a warrior.
11
Come quickly,b all you surrounding nations; gather yourselves. Bring down Your warriors there, Lord.
12
Let the nations be roused and come to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit down to judge all the surrounding nations.
13
Swing the sickle because the harvest is ripe. Come and trample [the grapes] because the winepress is full; the wine vats overflow because the wickedness of the nations is great.c
14
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the Day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
