Joel 3:9-16
91Proclaim this among the nations: 2Prepare a war; 3rouse the mighty men! Let all the soldiers draw near, let them come up!104Beat your plowshares into swords And your pruning hooks into spears; 5Let the weak say, “I am a mighty man.”1167Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations, And gather yourselves there. Bring down, O Lord, Your 8mighty ones.12Let the nations be aroused And come up to the 9valley of 10Jehoshaphat, For there I will sit to 11judge All the surrounding nations.1312Put in the sickle, for the 13harvest is ripe. Come, 14tread, for the 15wine press is full; The vats overflow, for their 16wickedness is great.1417Multitudes, multitudes in the 18valley of 19decision! For the 20day of the Lord is near in the valley of 21decision.15The 22sun and moon grow dark And the stars lose their brightness.16The Lord 23roars from Zion And 24utters His voice from Jerusalem, And the 25heavens and the earth tremble. But the Lord is a 26refuge for His people And a 27stronghold to the sons of Israel.
