Joel 3:1-8

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, 1112Traded 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, 6and sold the 18sons of Judah and Jerusalem to the 19Greeks in order to remove them far from their territory, 7behold, I am going to 20arouse them from the place where you have sold them, and return your recompense on your head. 8Also I will 21sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the 22Sabeans, to a distant nation,” for the Lord has spoken.
