1For then, in those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,[#Jer 30.3; Ezek 38.14; #3.1 4.1 in Heb]
2I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will enter into judgment with them there, on account of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations. They have divided my land[#Isa 66.16; Ezek 34.6; 35.10; 36.1–5]
3and cast lots for my people and traded boys for prostitutes and sold girls for wine and drunk it down.[#Ob 11; Nah 3.10]
4What are you to me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you paying me back for something? If you are paying me back, I will turn your deeds back upon your own heads swiftly and speedily.[#Ezek 25.12–17; Am 1.9, 10]
5For you have taken my silver and my gold and have carried my rich treasures into your temples.[#3.5 Or palaces]
6You have sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, removing them far from their own border.
7But now I will rouse them to leave the places to which you have sold them, and I will turn your deeds back upon your own heads.[#Isa 43.5, 6; Jer 23.8]
8I 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 nation far away, for the Lord has spoken.[#Isa 14.2; 60.14; Jer 6.20; Ezek 23.42]
9Proclaim this among the nations:
Consecrate yourselves for war;
stir up the warriors.
Let all the soldiers draw near;
let them come up.
10Beat your plowshares into swords[#Isa 2.4; Mic 4.3; Zech 12.8]
and your pruning hooks into spears;
let the weakling say, “I am a warrior.”
11Come quickly,[#Isa 13.3; Ezek 38.15, 16; #3.11 Meaning of Heb uncertain]
all you nations all around;
gather yourselves there.
Bring down your warriors, O Lord .
12Let the nations rouse themselves[#Isa 2.4; 3.13]
and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat,
for there I will sit to judge
all the neighboring nations.
13Put in the sickle,[#Isa 63.3; Mt 13.39; Rev 14.15, 19]
for the harvest is ripe.
Go in, tread,
for the winepress is full.
The vats overflow,
for their wickedness is great.
14Multitudes, multitudes,[#Isa 34.2–8; Joel 1.15; 2.1]
in the valley of decision!
For the day of the Lord is near
in the valley of decision.
15The sun and the moon are darkened,
and the stars withdraw their shining.
16The Lord roars from Zion[#Jer 17.17; Joel 2.11; Am 1.2; Hag 2.6]
and utters his voice from Jerusalem,
and the heavens and the earth shake.
But the Lord is a refuge for his people,
a stronghold for the people of Israel.
17So you shall know that I, the Lord your God,[#v 21 ; Isa 52.1; Ezek 20.40; Ob 17; Nah 1.15]
dwell in Zion, my holy mountain.
And Jerusalem shall be holy,
and strangers shall never again pass through it.
18In that day[#Isa 30.25; 35.6; Ezek 47.1–12; Am 9.13; Rev 22.1]
the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
the hills shall flow with milk,
and all the streambeds of Judah
shall flow with water;
a fountain shall come forth from the house of the Lord
and water the Wadi Shittim.
19Egypt shall become a desolation[#Ob 10]
and Edom a desolate wilderness,
because of the violence done to the people of Judah,
in whose land they have shed innocent blood.
20But Judah shall be inhabited forever[#Ezek 37.25; Am 9.15]
and Jerusalem to all generations.
21I will avenge their blood, and I will not clear the guilty,[#v 17 ; Ezek 36.25; #3.21 Gk Syr: Heb I will hold innocent their blood that I have not held innocent]
for the Lord dwells in Zion.
