3
And they have put the fate of my people to the decision of chance: giving a boy for the price of a loose woman and a girl for a drink of wine.
4
And further, what are you to me, O Tyre and Zidon and all the circle of Philistia? will you give me back any payment? and if you do, quickly and suddenly I will send it back on your head,
5
For you have taken my silver and my gold, putting in the houses of your gods my beautiful and pleasing things.
6
And the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem you have given for a price to the sons of the Greeks, to send them far away from their land:
7
See, I will have them moved from the place where you have sent them, and will let what you have done come back on your head;
8
I will give your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah for a price, and they will give them for a price to the men of Sheba, a nation far off: for the Lord has said it.
9
Give this out among the nations; make ready for war: get the strong men awake; let all the men of war come near, let them come up.
10
Get your plough-blades hammered into swords, and your vine-knives into spears: let the feeble say, I am strong.
11
Come quickly, all you nations round about, and get yourselves together there: make your strong ones come down, O Lord.
12
Let the nations be awake, and come to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there I will be seated as judge of all the nations round about.
13
Put in the blade, for the grain is ready: come, get you down, for the wine-crusher is full, the vessels are overflowing; for great is their evil-doing.
