2I will 1gatherH6908 allH3605 the nationsH1471 And bringH3381 them downH3381 to the 2ValleyH6010 of 3JehoshaphatH3092. Then I will 4enterH8199 intoH8199 judgmentH8199 with them thereH8033 OnH5921 behalfH5921 ofH5921 My peopleH5971 and My inheritanceH5159, IsraelH3478, WhomH834 they have 5scatteredH6340 among the nationsH1471; And they have 6dividedH2505 upH2505 My landH776.3They have also 7castH3032 lotsH1486 for My peopleH5971, 89TradedH5414 a boyH3206 for a prostituteH2181, And soldH4376 a girlH3207 for wineH3196 so that they may drinkH8354. 4MoreoverH1571, whatH4100 are you to Me, 10TyreH6865, SidonH6721, and allH3605 the regionsH1552 of 11PhilistiaH6429? Are you repayingH7999 Me with retributionH1576? But ifH518 you are showingH1580 Me retribution, swiftlyH7031 and speedilyH4120 I will 12returnH7725 your retributionH1576 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 inH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 removeH7368 them farH7368 from their territoryH1366, 7beholdH2009, I am going to 17stirH5782 them upH5782 from the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 you have soldH4376 them, and returnH7725 your retributionH1576 on your headH7218. 8I will also 18sellH4376 your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 into the handH3027 of the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063, and they will sellH4376 them to the 19SabeansH7615, to a distantH7350 nationH1471,” for the LordH3068 has spokenH1696.
