Joel 3:5-12 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

5. You took my silver and gold. You took my precious treasures and put them in your temples.

6. “You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks. That way you could take them far from their land.

7. You sent my people to that faraway place, but I will bring them back. And I will punish you for what you did.

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!

10. Beat your plows into swords. Make spears from your pruning hooks. Let the weak man say, “I am a strong soldier.”

11. All you nations, hurry! Come together in that place. Lord, bring your strong soldiers.

12. Wake up, nations! Come to Jehoshaphat Valley. There I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
