Joel 3:1-8 - Yahweh's Judgment On The Nations

¹ For behold, in those days and in that time when I shall turn hack the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, ² And I gathered all nations, and I brought them down to the valley of Jehoshophat, and I contended with them there for my people and mine inheritance Israel whom they scattered among the nations, and they divided the land. ³ And for my people they cast the lot: and they will give the boy for a harlot, and they sold the girl for wine; and they will drink

⁴ And also what are ye to me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the circuits of Philistia? do ye requite to me a recompense? and if ye recompense to me, swiftly and speedily I will turn back your recompense upon your head; ⁵ For ye took my silver and my gold, and my delights of good things ye brought to your temples. ⁶ And the sons of Judah and the sons of Jerusalem ye sold to the sons of the Grecians, in order to remove them far off from their border. ⁷ Behold me raising them up from the place where ye sold them there, and I turned back your recompense upon your head: ⁸ And I sold your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they sold them to the Sabeans to a nation far off: for Jehovah spake.
