2I will 1gatherH6908 allH3605 the nationsH1471 And bringH3381 them downH3381 to the 2valleyH6010 of 3JehoshaphatH3092. Then I will 4enterH8199 into judgmentH8199 with them thereH8033 On behalfH5921 of My peopleH5971 and My inheritanceH5159, IsraelH3478, WhomH834 they have 5scatteredH6340 among the nationsH1471; And they have 6dividedH2505 up My landH776.3They have also 7castH3032 lotsH1486 for My peopleH5971, 8 9TradedH5414 a boyH3206 for a harlotH2181 And soldH4376 a girlH3207 for wineH3196 that they may drinkH8354. 4MoreoverH1571, whatH4100 are you to Me, O 10TyreH6865, SidonH6721 and allH3605 the regionsH1552 of 11PhilistiaH6429? Are you renderingH7999 Me a recompenseH1576? But ifH518 you do recompenseH1580 Me, swiftlyH7031 and speedilyH4120 I will 12returnH7725 your recompenseH1576 on your headH7218. 5SinceH834 you have 13takenH3947 My silverH3701 and My goldH2091, broughtH935 My preciousH4261 14treasuresH4261 to your templesH1964, 6and soldH4376 the 15sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 to the 16GreeksH3125 in orderH4616 to removeH7368 them farH7368 from their territoryH1366, 7beholdH2009, I am going to 17arouseH5782 them from the placeH4725 whereH834 H8033 you have soldH4376 them, and returnH7725 your recompenseH1576 on your headH7218.
