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 prostitute, And sold a girl for wine so that they may drink. 4Moreover, what are you to Me, 13Tyre, Sidon, and all the regions of 14Philistia? Are you repaying Me with retribution? But if you are showing Me retribution, swiftly and speedily I will 15return your retribution on your head! 5Since you have 16taken My silver and My gold, brought My precious 17treasures to your temples,
