And bring them down to the (B)valley of [a]Jehoshaphat.

On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel,
Whom they have (D)scattered among the nations;
And they have (E)divided up My land.

  1. Joel 3:2 I.e. YHWH judges

(A)Proclaim this among the nations:
(B)Prepare a war; (C)rouse the mighty men!
Let all the soldiers draw near, let them come up!
10 (D)Beat your plowshares into swords
And your pruning hooks into spears;
(E)Let the weak say, “I am a mighty man.”
11 [a](F)Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations,
And gather yourselves there.
Bring down, O Lord, Your (G)mighty ones.
12 Let the nations be aroused
And come up to the (H)valley of [b]Jehoshaphat,
For there I will sit to (I)judge
All the surrounding nations.
