Joel 3:9-17

9 Proclaim this among the nations:
aConsecrate for war;
Or  Consecrate a war

stir up the mighty men.
Let all the men of war draw near;
let them come up.
10 cBeat your plowshares into swords,
and dyour pruning hooks into spears;
let the weak say, “I am a warrior.”
11 eHasten and come,
all you surrounding nations,
and gather yourselves there.
fBring down your warriors, O Lord.
12Let the nations stir themselves up
and come up to gthe Valley of Jehoshaphat;
hfor there I will sit to judge
all the surrounding nations.
13 iPut in the sickle,
jfor the harvest is ripe.
kGo in, tread,
lfor the winepress is full.
The vats overflow,
for their evil is great.
14 Multitudes, multitudes,
in the valley of decision!
For mthe day of the Lord is near
in the valley of decision.
15 nThe sun and the moon are darkened,
and the stars withdraw their shining.
16 oThe Lord roars from Zion,
and putters his voice from Jerusalem,
qand the heavens and the earth quake.
But the Lord is ra refuge to his people,
a stronghold to the people of Israel.

The Glorious Future of Judah

17 s“So you shall know that I am the Lord your God,
twho dwells in Zion, umy holy mountain.
And Jerusalem shall be holy,
and vstrangers shall never again pass through it.
