1. (4:1) For look! In those days and at that timeI 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 thereconcerning 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 goldand 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!
