Joel - Chapter 4

1For lo! in those days 1 And in that time, When I restore the fortunes Of Yehuda and Yerushalayim,

2I will gather all the nations And bring them down to the Valley of Yehoshafat. There I will contend with them Over My very own people, Yisrael, Which they scattered among the nations. For they divided My land among themselves

3And cast lots over My people; And they bartered a boy for a whore, And sold a girl for wine, which they drank.

4What is this you are doing to Me, O Tyre, Sidon, and all the districts of Philistia? Are you requiting Me for something I have done, or are you doing something for My benefit? Quick as a flash, I will pay you back;

6and you have sold the people of Yehuda and the people of Yerushalayim to the Ionians, so that you have removed them far away from their homeland.

7Behold, I will rouse them to leave the place you have sold them to, and I will pay you back:

8I will deliver your sons and daughters into the hands of the people of Yehuda, and they will sell them into captivity to a distant nation—for Hashem has spoken.

10Beat your plowshares into swords, And your pruning hooks into spears. Let even the weakling say, “I am strong.”

12Let the nations rouse themselves and march up To the Valley of Yehoshafat; For there I will sit in judgment Over all the nations roundabout.

13Swing the sickle, For the crop is ripe; Come and tread, For the winepress is full, The vats are overflowing! For great is their wickedness.

16And Hashem will roar from Tzion, And shout aloud from Yerushalayim, So that heaven and earth tremble. But Hashem will be a shelter to His people, A refuge to the children of Yisrael.

17And you shall know that I Hashem your God Dwell in Tzion, My holy mount. And Yerushalayim shall be holy; Nevermore shall strangers pass through it.

18And in that day, The mountains shall drip with wine, The hills shall flow with milk, And all the watercourses of Yehuda shall flow with water; A spring shall issue from the House of Hashem And shall water the Wadi of the Acacias.
