Joel 3:9-16 ▼

9 Proclaim this among the Gentiles: Get ready for war, stir up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up.

10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your sickles into spears. Let the weak say, I am a mighty man.

11 Assemble yourselves, and come; all you nations round about, draw near; and there will the LORD break your might.

12 Let the nations be awakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the nations round about.

13 Put in the sickles, for the harvest is ripe; go in, tread down; for wheat pits are full, and the wine presses overflow; for their wickedness is great.

14 An uproar and tumult in the valley of decision; for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

15 The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their shining.

16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake; but the LORD will have pity upon his people, and will strengthen the children of Israel.
