¹¹ I will punish^(A) the world for its evil,
    the wicked^(B) for their sins.
I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty^(C)
    and will humble^(D) the pride of the ruthless.^(E)

⁹ Proclaim this among the nations:
    Prepare for war!^(A)
Rouse the warriors!^(B)
    Let all the fighting men draw near and attack.
¹⁰ Beat your plowshares into swords
    and your pruning hooks^(C) into spears.^(D)
Let the weakling^(E) say,
    “I am strong!”^(F)
11 Come quickly, all you nations from every side,
    and assemble^(G) there.

Bring down your warriors,^(H) Lord!

¹² “Let the nations be roused;
    let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat,^(I)
for there I will sit
    to judge^(J) all the nations on every side.
¹³ Swing the sickle,^(K)
    for the harvest^(L) is ripe.
Come, trample the grapes,^(M)
    for the winepress^(N) is full
    and the vats overflow—
so great is their wickedness!”

¹⁴ Multitudes,^(O) multitudes
    in the valley^(P) of decision!
For the day of the Lord^(Q) is near
    in the valley of decision.^(R)
15 The sun and moon will be darkened,
    and the stars no longer shine.^(S)
16 The Lord will roar^(T) from Zion
    and thunder from Jerusalem;^(U)
    the earth and the heavens will tremble.^(V)
But the Lord will be a refuge^(W) for his people,
    a stronghold^(X) for the people of Israel.

³ “I have trodden the winepress^(A) alone;
    from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled^(B) them in my anger
    and trod them down in my wrath;^(C)
their blood spattered my garments,^(D)
    and I stained all my clothing.
⁴ It was for me the day of vengeance;^(E)
    the year for me to redeem had come.
⁵ I looked, but there was no one^(F) to help,
    I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm^(G) achieved salvation for me,
    and my own wrath sustained me.^(H)
6 I trampled^(I) the nations in my anger;
    in my wrath I made them drunk^(J)
    and poured their blood^(K) on the ground.”

³¹ The tumult^(A) will resound to the ends of the earth,
    for the Lord will bring charges^(B) against the nations;
he will bring judgment^(C) on all^(D) mankind
    and put the wicked to the sword,^(E)’”
declares the Lord.

“Look! Disaster^(F) is spreading
    from nation to nation;^(G)
a mighty storm^(H) is rising
    from the ends of the earth.”^(I)

⁸ Rise up,^(A) O God, judge^(B) the earth,
    for all the nations are your inheritance.^(C)
