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.
14
Masses on masses in the valley of decision! for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
15
The sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining.
16
And the Lord will be thundering from Zion, and his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will be shaking: but the Lord will be a breastplate for his people and a strong place for the children of Israel.
17
And you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, living in Zion, my holy mountain: and Jerusalem will be holy, and no strange person will ever again go through her.
