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

¹ For look! In those days and at that time I will return the exiles to Judah and Jerusalem. ² Then I will gather all the nations, and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. I will enter into judgment against them there concerning my people Israel who are my inheritance, whom they scattered among the nations. They partitioned my land, ³ and they cast lots for my people. They traded a boy for a prostitute; they sold a little girl for wine so they could drink.

⁴ Why are you doing these things to me, Tyre and Sidon? Are you trying to get even with me, land of Philistia? I will very quickly repay you for what you have done! ⁵ For you took my silver and my gold and brought my precious valuables to your own palaces. ⁶ You sold Judeans and Jerusalemites to the Greeks, removing them far from their own country. ⁷ Look! I am rousing them from that place to which you sold them. I will repay you for what you have done! ⁸ I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah. They will sell them to the Sabeans, a nation far away. Indeed, the Lord has spoken!
