Joel 3:5-12 New Living Translation (NLT)

5. You have taken my silver and gold and all my precious treasures, and have carried them off to your pagan temples.

6. You have sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, so they could take them far from their homeland.

7. “But I will bring them back from all the places to which you sold them, and I will pay you back for everything you have done.

8. I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the people of Arabia, a nation far away. I, the lord, have spoken!”

9. Say to the nations far and wide:“Get ready for war!Call out your best warriors.Let all your fighting men advance for the attack.

10. Hammer your plowshares into swordsand your pruning hooks into spears.Train even your weaklings to be warriors.

11. Come quickly, all you nations everywhere.Gather together in the valley.”And now, O  lord, call out your warriors!

12. “Let the nations be called to arms.Let them march to the valley of Jehoshaphat.There I, the lord, will sitto pronounce judgment on them all.
