New American Standard Bible 1995

The Nations Will Be Judged

1“1For beholdH2009, 2in thoseH1992 daysH3117 and at that timeH6256, WhenH834 I 3restoreH7725 the fortunesH7622 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389,2I will 4gatherH6908 allH3605 the nationsH1471 And bringH3381 them downH3381 to the 5valleyH6010 of 6JehoshaphatH3092. Then I will 7enterH8199 into judgmentH8199 with them thereH8033 On behalfH5921 of My peopleH5971 and My inheritanceH5159, IsraelH3478, WhomH834 they have 8scatteredH6340 among the nationsH1471; And they have 9dividedH2505 up My landH776.3They have also 10castH3032 lotsH1486 for My peopleH5971, 1112TradedH5414 a boyH3206 for a harlotH2181 And soldH4376 a girlH3207 for wineH3196 that they may drinkH8354. 4MoreoverH1571, whatH4100 are you to Me, O 13TyreH6865, SidonH6721 and allH3605 the regionsH1552 of 14PhilistiaH6429? Are you renderingH7999 Me a recompenseH1576? But ifH518 you do recompenseH1580 Me, swiftlyH7031 and speedilyH4120 I will 15returnH7725 your recompenseH1576 on your headH7218. 5SinceH834 you have 16takenH3947 My silverH3701 and My goldH2091, broughtH935 My preciousH4261 17treasuresH4261 to your templesH1964, 6and soldH4376 the 18sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 to the 19GreeksH3125 in orderH4616 to removeH7368 them farH7368 from their territoryH1366, 7beholdH2009, I am going to 20arouseH5782 them from the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 you have soldH4376 them, and returnH7725 your recompenseH1576 on your headH7218. 8Also I will 21sellH4376 your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 into the handH3027 of the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063, and they will sellH4376 them to the 22SabeansH7615, to a distantH7350 nationH1471,” for the LordH3068 has spokenH1696.

923ProclaimH7121 thisH2088 among the nationsH1471: 24PrepareH6942 a warH4421; 25rouseH5782 the mightyH1368 menH1368! Let allH3605 the soldiersH582H4421 drawH5066 nearH5066, let them comeH5927 up!1026BeatH3807 your plowsharesH855 into swordsH2719 And your pruningH4211 hooksH4211 into spearsH7420; 27Let the weakH2523 sayH559, “I am a mightyH1368 manH1368.”112829HastenH5789 and comeH935, allH3605 you surroundingH5439 nationsH1471, And gatherH6908 yourselves thereH8033. BringH5181 downH5181, O LordH3068, Your 30mightyH1368 onesH1368.12Let the nationsH1471 be arousedH5782 And comeH5927 up to the 31valleyH6010 of 32JehoshaphatH3092, For thereH8033 I will sitH3427 to 33judgeH8199 AllH3605 the surroundingH5439 nationsH1471.1334PutH7971 in the sickleH4038, for the 35harvestH7105 is ripeH1310. ComeH935, 36treadH3381, for the 37wineH1660 pressH1660 is fullH4390; The vatsH3342 overflowH7783, for their 38wickednessH7463 is greatH7227.1439MultitudesH1995, multitudesH1995 in the 40valleyH6010 of 41decisionH2742! For the 42dayH3117 of the LordH3068 is nearH7138 in the valleyH6010 of 43decisionH2742.15The 44sunH8121 and moonH3394 growH6937 darkH6937 And the starsH3556 loseH622 their brightnessH5051.16The LordH3068 45roarsH7580 from ZionH6726 And 46uttersH5414 His voiceH6963 from JerusalemH3389, And the 47heavensH8064 and the earthH776 trembleH7493. But the LordH3068 is a 48refugeH4268 for His peopleH5971 And a 49strongholdH4581 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.17Then you will 50knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, DwellingH7931 in ZionH6726, My 51holyH6944 mountainH2022. So JerusalemH3389 will be 52holyH6944, And 53strangersH2114 will passH5674 through it noH3808 moreH5750.

Judah Will Be Blessed

18And in that dayH3117 The 54mountainsH2022 will dripH5197 with 55sweetH6071 wineH6071, And the hillsH1389 will 56flowH1980 with milkH2461, And allH3605 the 57brooksH650 of JudahH3063 will flowH1980 with waterH4325; And a 58springH4599 will goH3318 out from the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 To waterH8248 the valleyH5158 of 59ShittimH7851.19EgyptH4714 will becomeH1961 a wasteH8077, And EdomH112 will becomeH1961 a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057, BecauseH4480 of the 60violenceH2555 61done to the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063, In whoseH834 landH776 they have shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818.20But JudahH3063 will be 62inhabitedH3427 foreverH5769 And JerusalemH3389 for allH1755 generationsH1755.21And I will 63avengeH5352 their bloodH1818 which I have not avengedH5352, For the LordH3068 dwellsH7931 in ZionH6726.
