“For see, in those days and at that time, when I return the captivity of Yehudah and Yerushalayim,
2
I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Yehoshafat. And there I will enter into Judgment with them concerning My People and My Inheritance, Yisra’el, whom they scattered among the nations, and they divided My land.
3
And over My people they cast lots. They gave a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
4
And what are you to Me, Tzor and Tzidon, and all the regions of Peleshet? Are you repaying Me for something? And if you are repaying Me, swiftly and speedily I will return your repayment upon your own head.
5
Because you took My silver and My gold, and carried My precious treasures into your temples,
6
and sold the sons of Yehudah and the sons of Yerushalayim to the sons of Yavan, that you might remove them far from their border.
7
See, I am stirring them up from the place where you sold them, and I will return your repayment upon your own head.
8
And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Yehudah, and they shall sell them to the Sheva’im, to a nation far away, for Yahuah has spoken.”
9
Proclaim this among the nations: “Set apart war. Awaken the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near and come up.
10
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say: ‘I am mighty.’
11
Hasten and come, all you nations from all around, and gather yourselves there. Bring down, Yahuah, Your mighty ones.
12
Let the nations be stirred and come up to the Valley of Yehoshafat. For there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
13
Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the winepress is full. The vats overflow, for their evil is great.
14
Multitudes, multitudes in the Valley of Decision, for the Day of Yahuah is near in the Valley of Decision.
15
The sun and the moon grow dark, and the stars withdraw their brightness.
16
And Yahuah shall roar from Tziyon and give His voice from Yerushalayim, and the heavens and the earth shall shake. But Yahuah shall be a refuge for His People and a stronghold for the sons of Yisra’el.
17
And you shall know that I am Yahuah your Elohim, dwelling in Tziyon, My holy mountain. And Yerushalayim shall be holy, and foreigners shall pass through her no more.
18
And it shall be in that day that the mountains shall drip new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the channels of Yehudah shall flow with waters. And a fountain shall go out from the House of Yahuah and water the Valley of Shittim.
19
Mitzrayim shall become a desolation, and Edom a desolate wilderness, because of violence against the sons of Yehudah, because they shed innocent blood in their land.
20
But Yehudah shall dwell forever, and Yerushalayim from generation to generation.
21
And I will cleanse their blood that I had not cleansed, for Yahuah dwells in Tziyon.”
