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

⁹ "Declare this among the nations: "Prepare for war! Wake up your elite forces! Let all the soldiers draw near! Call them up! ¹⁰ Beat your plow blades into swords, and your pruning knives into spears! Let the frail say, "I am strong!" ¹¹ Hurry and come, all you gentiles! Gather yourselves together!'" "LORD, cause your mighty army to come down.

¹² "Let the nations be awakened and come to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; because I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations. ¹³ Put in the sickle, because the harvest is ripe. Come and go down, because the winepress is full. The wine vats are overflowing, because their evil is great!

¹⁴ "Multitudes, multitudes in the Valley of Judgment! For the Day of the LORD is near in the Valley of Judgment! ¹⁵ The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will stop shining. ¹⁶ "The LORD will roar from Zion, and shout from Jerusalem. The heavens and the earth will shake, but the LORD will be the refuge of his people, and the strength of the people of Israel."

¹⁷ "And truly you will know that I am the LORD your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no foreigners will invade her again. ¹⁸ It will come about at that time that the mountains will drip with newly pressed wine, the hills will flow with milk, and the streams of Judah will flow abundantly. A fountain will spring from the Temple of the LORD, to water the Valley of the Acacias. ¹⁹ Egypt will be desolate, and Edom will be a desert, because of violence against the people of Judah since they shed innocent blood in their land. ²⁰ But Judah will live forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. ²¹ I will acquit their bloodguilt that has not yet been acquitted. For the LORD lives in Zion!"
