1 Because, lo! Here I am in those days and at that time when I have brought back the captivity of Juda and Jerusalem;
2 and I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Josaphat and plead with them there for my people and my heritage, Israel, who have been scattered among the nations. They indeed divided my land among themselves
3 and cast lots for my people; they gave my boys to harlots and sold my girls for wine and drank it.
4 Now what have you, Tyre and Sidon and all Galilee of foreign tribes, to do with me? Are you rendering me a retribution? Or are you venting your spite against me? On your heads I will severely and speedily return your retribution.
5 Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and carried my choicest goods into your temples,
6 and sold the sons of Juda and the sons of Jerusalem to the Greeks, that you might remove them far from their borders;
7 therefore behold I will raise them up from the places whither you sold them, and return your retribution on your heads.
8 And I will deliver your sons and your daughters into the hands of the sons of Juda; that they may sell them as captives to a far distant nation. Because the Lord hath spoken,
9 proclaim these things among the nations. Declare war: rouse the warriors: assemble and march up, all ye men of war.
10 Beat your ploughshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, I am strong.
11 Assemble and come all ye nations around and be there gathered together. Let the man of peace become a soldier.
