The word of the Lord which came to Joel, the son of Pethuel.

I will give back to you the years which were food for the locust, the plant-worm, the field-fly, and the worm, my great army which I sent among you.

I will get together all the nations, and make them come down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and there I will take up with them the cause of my people and of my heritage Israel, whom they have sent wandering among the nations, and of my land which has been parted by them.

And I will send punishment for their blood, for which punishment has not been sent, for the Lord is living in Zion.
