Joel 3:9-17

91ProclaimH7121 thisH2088 among the nationsH1471: 2PrepareH6942 for holyH6942 warH4421; 3stirH5782 upH5782 the warriorsH1368! Have allH3605 the soldiersH582H4421 comeH5066 forwardH5066, have them comeH5927 upH5927!104BeatH3807 your plowsharesH855 into swordsH2719, And your pruningH4211 hooksH4211 into spearsH7420; 5Let the weakH2523 man sayH559, “I am a warriorH1368.”1167HurryH5789 and comeH935, allH3605 you surroundingH5439 nationsH1471, And gatherH6908 yourselves thereH8033. BringH5181 downH5181, LordH3068, Your 8warriorsH1368.12Let the nationsH1471 be awakenedH5782 And comeH5927 upH5927 to the 9ValleyH6010 of 10JehoshaphatH3092, For thereH8033 I will sitH3427 to 11judgeH8199 AllH3605 the surroundingH5439 nationsH1471.1312PutH7971 in the sickleH4038, for the 13harvestH7105 isH1310 ripeH1310. ComeH935, 14treadH7287 the grapes, for the 15wineH1660 pressH1660 is fullH4390; The vatsH3342 overflowH7783, for their 16wickednessH7463 is greatH7227.1417MultitudesH1995, multitudesH1995 in the 18valleyH6010 of 19decisionH2742! For the 20dayH3117 of the LordH3068 is nearH7138 in the valleyH6010 of 21decisionH2742.15The 22sunH8121 and moonH3394 have becomeH6937 darkH6937, And the starsH3556 have lostH622 their brightnessH5051.16The LordH3068 23roarsH7580 from ZionH6726 And 24uttersH5414 His voiceH6963 from JerusalemH3389, And the 25heavensH8064 and the earthH776 quakeH7493. But the LordH3068 is a 26refugeH4268 for His peopleH5971, And a 27strongholdH4581 for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.17Then you will 28knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, DwellingH7931 on ZionH6726, My 29holyH6944 mountainH2022. So JerusalemH3389 will be 30holyH6944, And 31strangersH2114 will noH3808 longerH5750 passH5674 through it.
