^{3 Ref} And I will let wonders be seen in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke.

^{6 Ref} For in those days and in that time, when I let the fate of Judah and Jerusalem be changed,

^{7 Ref} I will get together all the nations, and make them come down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and there I will take up with them the cause of my people and of my heritage Israel, whom they have sent wandering among the nations, and of my land which has been parted by them.

^{8 Ref} And they have put the fate of my people to the decision of chance: giving a boy for the price of a loose woman and a girl for a drink of wine.

^{9 Ref} And further, what are you to me, O Tyre and Zidon and all the circle of Philistia? will you give me back any payment? and if you do, quickly and suddenly I will send it back on your head,

^{10 Ref} For you have taken my silver and my gold, putting in the houses of your gods my beautiful and pleasing things.

^{11 Ref} And the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem you have given for a price to the sons of the Greeks, to send them far away from their land:

^{12 Ref} See, I will have them moved from the place where you have sent them, and will let what you have done come back on your head;

^{20 Ref} The sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining.

^{21 Ref} And the Lord will be thundering from Zion, and his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will be shaking: but the Lord will be a breastplate for his people and a strong place for the children of Israel.

²³ And it will come about in that day that the mountains will be dropping sweet wine, and the hills will be flowing with milk, and all the streams of Judah will be flowing with water; and a fountain will come out from the house of the Lord, watering the valley of acacia-trees.

²⁴ Egypt will be a waste and Edom a land of destruction, because of the evil done to the children of Judah, because they have let blood be drained out in their land without cause.

²⁵ But Judah will be peopled for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

²⁶ And I will send punishment for their blood, for which punishment has not been sent, for the Lord is living in Zion.

^{1 Ref} For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

^{2 Ref} I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment upon them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations: and they have parted my land,

^{4 Ref} Yea, and what are ye to me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? will ye render me a recompense? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompense upon your own head.

^{5 Ref} Forasmuch as ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly precious things,

^{6 Ref} and have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem unto the sons of the Grecians, that ye may remove them far from their border;

^{7 Ref} behold, I will stir them up out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompense upon your own head;

^{8 Ref} and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the men of Sheba, to a nation far off: for Jehovah hath spoken it.

^{9 Ref} Proclaim ye this among the nations; prepare war; stir up the mighty men; let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.

^{10 Ref} Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning-hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

^{17 Ref} So shall ye know that I am Jehovah your God, dwelling in Zion my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

^{18 Ref} And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall flow with waters; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of Jehovah, and shall water the valley of Shittim.

^{19 Ref} Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

^{20 Ref} But Judah shall abide for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

^{21 Ref} And I will cleanse their blood, that I have not cleansed: for Jehovah dwelleth in Zion.

^{1 Ref} "For, behold, in those days, And in that time, When I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

^{2 Ref} I will gather all nations, And will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will execute judgment on them there for my people, And for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have divided my land,

^{3 Ref} And have cast lots for my people, And have given a boy for a prostitute, And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.

^{4 Ref} "Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre, and Sidon, And all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head.

^{5 Ref} Because you have taken my silver and my gold, And have carried my finest treasures into your temples,

^{6 Ref} And have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks, That you may remove them far from their border.

^{7 Ref} Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, And will return your repayment on your own head;

^{8 Ref} And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah, And they will sell them to the men of Sheba, To a faraway nation, For Yahweh has spoken it."

^{9 Ref} Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare war. Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up.

^{10 Ref} Beat your plowshares into swords, And your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, "I am strong."

^{11 Ref} Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, And gather yourselves together." Cause your mighty ones to come down there, Yahweh.

^{12 Ref} "Let the nations arouse themselves, And come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; For there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations.

^{13 Ref} Put in the sickle; For the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the winepress is full, The vats overflow, for their wickedness is great."

^{14 Ref} Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Yahweh is near, in the valley of decision.

^{15 Ref} The sun and the moon are darkened, And the stars withdraw their shining."

^{16 Ref} Yahweh will roar from Zion, And thunder from Jerusalem; And the heavens and the earth will shake; But Yahweh will be a refuge to his people, And a stronghold to the children of Israel.

^{18 Ref} It will happen in that day, That the mountains will drop down sweet wine, The hills will flow with milk, All the brooks of Judah will flow with waters; And a fountain will come forth from the house of Yahweh, And will water the valley of Shittim.

^{19 Ref} Egypt will be a desolation, And Edom will be a desolate wilderness, For the violence done to the children of Judah, Because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

^{20 Ref} But Judah will be inhabited forever, And Jerusalem from generation to generation.

^{21 Ref} I will cleanse their blood, That I have not cleansed: For Yahweh dwells in Zion."
