Joel 3:2-8

2I will gatherH6908 allH3605 the nationsH1471 and bring them downH3381 toH413 the ValleyH6010 of JehoshaphatH3092.1 ThereH8033 I will enter into judgmentH8199 against themH5973 concerningH5921 My peopleH5971, My inheritanceH5159, IsraelH3478, whomH834 they have scatteredH6340 among the nationsH1471 asH853 they divided upH2505 My landH776.3They castH3032 lotsH1486 forH413 My peopleH5971; they barteredH5414 a boyH3206 for a prostituteH2181 and soldH4376 a girlH3207 for wineH3196 to drinkH8354.

4NowH1571 whatH4100 do you haveH859 against Me, O TyreH6865, SidonH6721, and allH3605 the regionsH1552 of PhilistiaH6429? Are youH859 renderingH7999 against MeH5921 a recompenseH1576? IfH518 youH859 retaliateH1580 against MeH5921, I will swiftlyH7031 and speedilyH4120 returnH7725 your recompenseH1576 upon your headsH7218. 5ForH834 you tookH3947 My silverH3701 and goldH2091 and carried offH935 My finestH2896 treasuresH4261 to your templesH1964.2 6You soldH4376H1121 the peopleH1121 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 to the GreeksH1121H3125,3 toH4616 send them farH7368 fromH5921 their homelandH1366.

7BeholdH2005, I will rouse themH5782 fromH4480 the placesH4725 to whichH834 you soldH4376 themH853H8033; I will returnH7725 your recompenseH1576 upon your headsH7218. 8I will sellH4376 your sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323 into the handsH3027 of the peopleH1121 of JudahH3063, and they will sell themH4376 to the SabeansH7615—toH413 a distantH7350 nationH1471.”

IndeedH3588, the LORDH3068 has spokenH1696.
