1 |Look, now! In those very days and at that time, when I restore prosperity to Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will gather all nations, bringing them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. I will set out my case against them there, on behalf of my people, my heritage Israel, whom they scattered among the nations, apportioning my land among themselves. 3 They cast lots for my people— they sold a young boy in exchange for a prostitute, and a girl for wine, so they could drink.| 4 |Furthermore, what have you to do with me, Tyre, Sidon, and all the sea coasts of Philistia? Are you taking revenge on me? If you are taking revenge on me, I'll send it back on you swiftly and promptly, 5 since you took my silver and gold, carried my precious treasures into your temples, 6 and sold Judah's and Jerusalem's descendants to the Greeks, so you can remove them far from their homeland!
