Joel 3:9-11

9 Pregonad esto entre las gentes, proclamad guerra, despertad á los valientes, lléguense, vengan todos los hombres de guerra.

10 Haced espadas de vuestros azadones, lanzas de vuestras hoces; diga el flaco: Fuerte soy.

11 Juntaos y venid, gentes todas de alrededor, y congregaos: haz venir allí, oh Jehová, tus fuertes.
