Dual Panel1For <03588> look <02009>! In those <01992> days <03117> and at that <01931> time <06256> I will return <07725> the exiles <07622> to Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>.
2Then I will gather <06908> all <03605> the nations <01471>, and bring <03381> them down <03381> to <0413> the valley <06010> of Jehoshaphat <03092>. I will enter into judgment <08199> against <05973> them there <08033> concerning <05921> my people <05971> Israel <03478> who are my inheritance <05159>, whom <0834> they scattered <06340> among the nations <01471>. They partitioned <02505> my land <0776>,
3and they cast <03032> lots <01486> for <0413> my people <05971>. They traded <05414> a boy <03206> for a prostitute <02181>; they sold <04376> a little girl <03207> for wine <03196> so they could drink <08354>.
4Why <04100> are you <0859> doing these things <03605> to me, Tyre <06865> and Sidon <06721>? Are you <0859> trying to get <07999> even <01576> with me, land <01552> of Philistia <06429>? I will very quickly <04120> <07031> repay <01576> <07725> you <0859> for <05921> what you have done!
5For you took <03947> my silver <03701> and my gold <02091> and brought <0935> my precious valuables <02896> <04261> to your own palaces <01964>.
6You sold <04376> Judeans <03063> <01121> and Jerusalemites <03389> <01121> to the Greeks <03125> <01121>, removing <07368> them far <07368> from <05921> their own country <01366>.
7Look <02005>! I am rousing <05782> them from <04480> that place <04725> to which <0834> you sold <04376> them. I will repay <07725> you for what you have done <01576>!
8I will sell <04376> your sons <01121> and daughters <01323> to the people <01121> of Judah <03063>. They will sell <04376> them to <0413> the Sabeans <07615>, a nation <01471> far away <07350>. Indeed <03588>, the Lord <03068> has spoken <01696>!
9Proclaim <07121> this <02063> among the nations <01471>: “Prepare <06942> for a holy war <04421>! Call out <05782> the warriors <01368>! Let all <03605> these fighting <04421> men <0582> approach <05066> and attack <05927>!
10Beat <03807> your plowshares <0855> into swords <02719>, and your pruning hooks <04211> into spears <07420>! Let the weak <02523> say <0559>, ‘I <0589> too am a warrior <01368>!’
11Lend <05789> your aid <05789> and come <0935>, all <03605> you surrounding <05439> nations <01471>, and gather <06908> yourselves to that place <08033>.” Bring down <05181>, O Lord <03068>, your warriors <01368>!
12Let the nations <01471> be roused <05782> and let them go up <05927> to <0413> the valley <06010> of Jehoshaphat <03092>, for <03588> there <08033> I will sit <03427> in judgment <08199> on all <03605> the surrounding <05439> nations <01471>.
13Rush forth <07971> with the sickle <04038>, for <03588> the harvest <07105> is ripe <01310>! Come <0935>, stomp <03381> the grapes, for <03588> the winepress <01660> is full <04390>! The vats <03342> overflow <07783>. Indeed <03588>, their evil <07451> is great <07227>!
14Crowds <01995>, great crowds <01995> are in the valley <06010> of decision <02742>, for <03588> the day <03117> of the Lord <03068> is near <07138> in the valley <06010> of decision <02742>!
15The sun <08121> and moon <03394> are darkened <06937>; the stars <03556> withhold <0622> their brightness <05051>.
16The Lord <03068> roars <07580> from Zion <06726>; from Jerusalem <03389> his voice <06963> bellows out <05414>. The heavens <08064> and the earth <0776> shake <07493>. But the Lord <03068> is a refuge <04268> for his people <05971>; he is a stronghold <04581> for the citizens <01121> of Israel <03478>.
17You will be convinced <03045> that <03588> I <0589> the Lord <03068> am your God <0430>, dwelling <07931> on Zion <06726>, my holy <06944> mountain <02022>. Jerusalem <03389> will be <01961> holy <06944>– conquering armies <02114> will no <03808> longer <05750> pass through <05674> it.
18On that <01931> day <03117> the mountains <02022> will drip <05197> with sweet wine <06071>, and the hills <01389> will flow <01980> with milk <02461>. All <03605> the dry stream beds <0650> of Judah <03063> will flow <01980> with water <04325>. A spring <04599> will flow out <03318> from the temple <01004> of the Lord <03068>, watering <08248> the Valley <05158> of Acacia Trees <07851>.
19Egypt <04714> will be <01961> desolate <08077> and Edom <0123> will be <01961> a desolate <08077> wilderness <04057>, because of the violence <02555> they did to the people <01121> of Judah <03063>, in whose <0834> land <0776> they shed <08210> innocent <05355> blood <01818>.
20But Judah <03063> will reside <03427> securely forever <05769>, and Jerusalem <03389> will be secure from one generation <01755> to the next <01755>.
21I will avenge <05352> their blood <01818> which I had not <03808> previously acquitted <05352>. It is the Lord <03068> who dwells <07931> in Zion <06726>!
