8. I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah. Then they will sell them to the faraway Sabeans.” This is what the Lord said.
9. Announce this among the nations: Prepare for war! Wake up the strong men! Let all the men of war come near. Let them come up!

12. Wake up, nations! Come to Jehoshaphat Valley. There I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
13. Bring the sickle, because the harvest is ripe. Come, walk on the grapes, because the winepress is full. The barrels will be full and spilling over, because their evil is great.

15. The sun and the moon will become dark. The stars will stop shining.
