9 Announce this to the nations: Proclaim a holy war! Alert the warriors! Let all the soldiers report and march! 10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning knives into spears; let the weakling boast, “I am a warrior!” 11 Hurry and come, all you neighboring peoples, assemble there! Bring down, LORD, your warriors! 12 Let the nations rouse themselves and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; For there I will sit in judgment upon all the neighboring nations. 13 Wield the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; Come and tread, for the wine press is full; The vats overflow, for their crimes are numerous. 14 Crowds upon crowds in the Valley of Decision; For near is the day of the LORD in the Valley of Decision.
