Joel 3:6-16 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

6. the children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the sons of the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border:

7. behold, I will stir them up out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head;

8. and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the men of Sheba, to a nation far off: for the Lord hath spoken it.

9. Proclaim ye this among the nations; prepare war: stir up the mighty men; let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.

10. Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

11. Haste ye, and come, all ye nations round about, and gather yourselves together: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord.

12. Let the nations bestir themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the nations round about.

13. Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, tread ye; for the winepress is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great.

14. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

15. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.

16. And the Lord shall roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake, but the Lord will be a refuge unto his people, and a strong hold to the children of Israel.
