Joel 4:4-13 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

4. “Moreover, what are you to Me, Tyre and Sidon and all regions of Philistia? Did you render retribution for Me? Even if you were rendering retribution for Me, swiftly, speedily, will I return your retribution back on your own head.

5. For you took My silver and My gold, and you carried My valuable treasures into your temples.

6. “The children of Judah and of Jerusalem you sold to the Greeks in order to remove them far from their own territory.

7. “Behold, I am rousing them from the place where you sold them, and I will return your retribution on your own head.

8. I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a nation far off—for Adonai has spoken.”

9. Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for war. Stir up the mighty men. Let the warriors advance and attack.

10. Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning knives into spears. Let the weak say, “I am strong.”

11. Rouse yourselves and come, all nations around, and gather there. Adonai, bring Your mighty ones down!

12. “Let the nations rouse themselves and go up to the valley of Jehoshaphat. For there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations.”

13. Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the winepress is full —the vats overflow— for their wickedness is great!
