Joel 3:1-5

1“1For behold, 2in those days and at that time, When I 3restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,2I will 4gather all the nations And bring them down to the 5valley of 6Jehoshaphat. Then I will 7enter into judgment with them there On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, Whom they have 8scattered among the nations; And they have 9divided up My land.3They have also 10cast lots for My people, 11 12Traded a boy for a harlot And sold a girl for wine that they may drink. 4Moreover, what are you to Me, O 13Tyre, Sidon and all the regions of 14Philistia? Are you rendering Me a recompense? But if you do recompense Me, swiftly and speedily I will 15return your recompense on your head. 5Since you have 16taken My silver and My gold, brought My precious 17treasures to your temples,
