9 Call ye this among the nations: Consecrate war; rouse up the strong ones, they shall draw near, all the men of war shall come up. 10 Beat your plough-shares into swords, and your pruning-knives into spears: the weak shall say, I am strong. 11 Hasten and come all ye nations from round about, and be ye gathered together: there lead down, O Jehovah, thy strong ones. 12 The nations shall be roused and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there I will sit to judge all the nations from round about. 13 Send ye forth the sickle, for the harvest was ripened: come ye, go down, for the wine press was filled, the vats, overflowed; for their evil is great. 14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of judgment: for the day of Jehovah is near in the valley of judgment. 15 The sun and the moon were darkened, and the stars took away their shining. 16 And Jehovah shall cry out from Zion, and from Jerusalem he shall give his voice; and the heavens and the earth trembled: and Jehovah the refuge to his people, and the fortress to the sons of Israel.
