9 Publishe this thyng among the gentiles, proclayme warre, wake vp the mightie men, let all the men of warre drawe neare and come vp. 10 Breake your plowe shares into swordes, and your sithes into speares, let the weake say, I am strong. 11 Assemble your selues and come all you heathen, and gather your selues together rounde about, there shall the Lord cast downe thy mightie men. 12 Let the heathen arise and come vp to the valley of Iehosaphat: for there will I sit to iudge all nations rounde about. 13 Put in your sithes, for ye haruest is ripe: come ye and descende, for the wine presse is full, yea the presses ouerflowe: for their wickednesse is multiplied. 14 O people, people come into the valley of finall iudgement: for the day of the Lorde is at hande in the valley of finall iudgement. 15 The sunne and the moone shalbe darkned, and the starres shall withdrawe their light. 16 The Lord also shall rose out of Sion, and out of Hierusalem shall he geue his voyce, the heauens and the earth shall shake: but the Lorde wyll be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. Joel 3:9-16, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
