Joel 3:9-21 - Yahweh's Judgment In The Valley Of Jehoshaphat

⁹ Give this out among the nations; make ready for war: get the strong men awake; let all the men of war come near, let them come up. ¹⁰ Get your plough-blades hammered into swords, and your vine-knives into spears: let the feeble say, I am strong. ¹¹ Come quickly, all you nations round about, and get yourselves together there: make your strong ones come down, O Lord.

¹² Let the nations be awake, and come to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there I will be seated as judge of all the nations round about. ¹³ Put in the blade, for the grain is ready: come, get you down, for the wine-crusher is full, the vessels are overflowing; for great is their evil-doing.

¹⁴ Masses on masses in the valley of decision! for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. ¹⁵ The sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining. ¹⁶ And the Lord will be thundering from Zion, and his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will be shaking: but the Lord will be a breastplate for his people and a strong place for the children of Israel.

¹⁷ And you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, living in Zion, my holy mountain: and Jerusalem will be holy, and no strange person will ever again go through her. ¹⁸ And it will come about in that day that the mountains will be dropping sweet wine, and the hills will be flowing with milk, and all the streams of Judah will be flowing with water; and a fountain will come out from the house of the Lord, watering the valley of acacia-trees. ¹⁹ Egypt will be a waste and Edom a land of destruction, because of the evil done to the children of Judah, because they have let blood be drained out in their land without cause. ²⁰ But Judah will be peopled for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. ²¹ And I will send punishment for their blood, for which punishment has not been sent, for the Lord is living in Zion.
