# Chapter 3
|
|
1. "For behold, in those days and at that time,
|
|
When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,
|
|
|
|
2. I will also gather all nations,
|
|
And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
|
|
And I will enter into judgment with them there
|
|
On account of My people, My heritage Israel,
|
|
Whom they have scattered among the nations;
|
|
They have also divided up My land.
|
|
|
|
3. They have cast lots for My people,
|
|
Have given a boy as payment for a harlot,
|
|
And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
|
|
|
|
4. "Indeed, what have you to do with Me,
|
|
O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia?
|
|
Will you retaliate against Me?
|
|
But if you retaliate against Me,
|
|
Swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head;
|
|
|
|
5. Because you have taken My silver and My gold,
|
|
And have carried into your temples My prized possessions.
|
|
|
|
6. Also the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem
|
|
You have sold to the Greeks,
|
|
That you may remove them far from their borders.
|
|
|
|
7. "Behold, I will raise them
|
|
Out of the place to which you have sold them,
|
|
And will return your retaliation upon your own head.
|
|
|
|
8. I will sell your sons and your daughters
|
|
Into the hand of the people of Judah,
|
|
And they will sell them to the Sabeans,
|
|
To a people far off;
|
|
For the Lord has spoken."
|
|
|
|
9. Proclaim this among the nations:
|
|
"Prepare for war!
|
|
Wake up the mighty men,
|
|
Let all the men of war draw near,
|
|
Let them come up.
|
|
|
|
10. Beat your plowshares into swords
|
|
And your pruning hooks into spears;
|
|
Let the weak say, 'I am strong.' "
|
|
|
|
11. Assemble and come, all you nations,
|
|
And gather together all around.
|
|
Cause Your mighty ones to go down there, O Lord.
|
|
|
|
12. "Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
|
|
For there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
|
|
|
|
13. Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe.
|
|
Come, go down;
|
|
For the winepress is full,
|
|
The vats overflow--
|
|
For their wickedness is great."
|
|
|
|
14. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!
|
|
For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
|
|
|
|
15. The sun and moon will grow dark,
|
|
And the stars will diminish their brightness.
|
|
|
|
16. The Lord also will roar from Zion,
|
|
And utter His voice from Jerusalem;
|
|
The heavens and earth will shake;
|
|
But the Lord will be a shelter for His people,
|
|
And the strength of the children of Israel.
|
|
|
|
17. "So you shall know that I am the Lord your God,
|
|
Dwelling in Zion My holy mountain.
|
|
Then Jerusalem shall be holy,
|
|
And no aliens shall ever pass through her again."God Blesses His People
|
|
|
|
18. And it will come to pass in that day
|
|
That the mountains shall drip with new wine,
|
|
The hills shall flow with milk,
|
|
And all the brooks of Judah shall be flooded with water;
|
|
A fountain shall flow from the house of the Lord
|
|
And water the Valley of Acacias.
|
|
|
|
19. "Egypt shall be a desolation,
|
|
And Edom a desolate wilderness,
|
|
Because of violence against the people of Judah,
|
|
For they have shed innocent blood in their land.
|
|
|
|
20. But Judah shall abide forever,
|
|
And Jerusalem from generation to generation.
|
|
|
|
21. For I will acquit them of the guilt of bloodshed, whom I had not acquitted;
|
|
For the Lord dwells in Zion."
