"For then, at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Y'hudah and Yerushalayim,
2
I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Y'hoshafat [ADONAI judges]. I will enter into judgment there for my people, my heritage Isra'el, whom they scattered among the nations; then they divided my land.
3
They drew lots for my people, traded boys for whores, sold girls for wine to drink.

"Moreover, what have you against me, Tzor, Tzidon, all parts of P'leshet? Are you paying me back for something I did? If you're paying me back for something I did, then easily, quickly, I'll pay you back right on your own head.
5
You took my silver and gold. You brought my good treasures into your temples.
6
The people of Y'hudah and Yerushalayim you sold to the Greeks, so that you could remove them far away from their land.
7
I will rouse them from the place where you sold them and pay you back right on your own head
8
I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Y'hudah; and they will sell them to the men of Sh'va, a nation far off; for ADONAI has spoken.

"Proclaim this among the nations: 'Prepare for war! Rouse the warriors! Let all the fighting men approach and attack.'
10
Hammer your plow-blades into swords and your pruning-knives into spears. Let the weak say, 'I am strong.'
