1
"For, behold, in those days, And in that time, When I restore the fortunes of Yehudah and Yerushalayim,
2
I will gather all nations, And will bring them down into the valley of Yehoshafat; And I will execute judgment on them there for my people, And for my heritage, Yisra'el, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have divided my land,
3
And have cast lots for my people, And have given a boy for a prostitute, And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
4
"Yes, and what are you to me, Tzor, and Tzidon, And all the regions of Peleshet? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head.
5
Because you have taken my silver and my gold, And have carried my finest treasures into your temples,
6
And have sold the children of Yehudah and the children of Yerushalayim to the sons of the Yevanim, That you may remove them far from their border.
7
Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, And will return your repayment on your own head;
8
And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Yehudah, And they will sell them to the men of Sheva, To a faraway nation, For the LORD has spoken it."
9
Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare war. Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up.
