Joel 3:9-17 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

9. Proclaim ye this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come nigh, come up, let all the men of war.

10. Beat your ploughshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, `I [am] mighty.'

11. Haste, and come in, all ye nations round, And be gathered together, Thither cause to come down, O Jehovah, Thy mighty ones.

12. Wake and come up let the nations unto the valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around.

13. Send ye forth a sickle, For ripened hath harvest, Come in, come down, for filled hath been the press, Overflowed hath wine-presses, For great [is] their wickedness.

14. Multitudes, multitudes [are] in the valley of decision, For near [is] the day of Jehovah in the valley of decision.

15. Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.

16. And Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And shaken have the heavens and earth, And Jehovah [is] a refuge to his people, And a stronghold to sons of Israel.

17. And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah your God, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain, And Jerusalem hath been holy, And strangers do not pass over into it again.
