New Testament

Joel 3:3-9 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

3. They cast lots for My people; they bartered a boy for a prostituteand sold a girl for wine to drink.

4. And also: Tyre, Sidon, and all the territories of Philistia — what are you to Me? Are you paying Me back or trying to get even with Me? I will quickly bring retribution on your heads.

5. For you took My silver and gold and carried My finest treasures to your temples.

6. You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks to remove them far from their own territory.

7. Look, I am about to rouse them up from the place where you sold them; I will bring retribution on your heads.

8. I will sell your sons and daughters into the hands of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a distant nation, for the Lord has spoken.

9. Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for holy war; rouse the warriors; let all the men of war advance and attack!
