1 "In those days and at that time, when I will make things better for Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will gather all the nations together and bring them down into the Valley Where the Lord Judges. There I will judge them, because those nations scattered my own people Israel and forced them to live in other nations. They divided up my land
3 and threw lots for my people. They traded boys for prostitutes, and they sold girls to buy wine to drink.
4 "Tyre and Sidon and all of you regions of Philistia! What did you have against me? Were you punishing me for something I did, or were you doing something to hurt me? I will very quickly do to you what you have done to me.
5 You took my silver and gold, and you put my precious treasures in your temples.
6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks so that you could send them far from their land.
