Joel 3:9-14

9Tell this news to the people in all the countries: Get ready for war! Shout to the soldiers. Make all the men who fight get ready to attack.

10Make your ploughs into swords. Make the tools that you use on the farm into spears. The weak man must say, ‘I am strong!’

11Come quickly, you people who live round Israel. And get together in the valley. Lord, send down your army to attack them.

12‘Wake up the people in all the countries! Bring them into the Valley of Jehoshaphat. I will sit there to judge the people from every place.

13Now is the time to cut down the fruits. They are ready for you to bring them in. Walk all over the grapes. The winepress is full of them. They come over the top. The people in all countries have done so many bad things.’

14Many nations are in the Valley of Jehoshaphat. It is there that the day of the Lord will soon come.
