Joel 2:28-3:8

New Living Translation

^28 [a]“Then, after doing all those things,
    I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
    Your old men will dream dreams,
    and your young men will see visions.
²⁹ In those days I will pour out my Spirit
    even on servants—men and women alike.
³⁰ And I will cause wonders in the heavens and on the earth—
    blood and fire and columns of smoke.
³¹ The sun will become dark,
    and the moon will turn blood red
    before that great and terrible^[b] day of the Lord arrives.
³² But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
    will be saved,
for some on Mount Zion in Jerusalem will escape,
    just as the Lord has said.
These will be among the survivors
    whom the Lord has called.

3 ^[c]“At the time of those events,” says the Lord,
    “when I restore the prosperity of Judah and Jerusalem,
² I will gather the armies of the world
    into the valley of Jehoshaphat.^[d]
There I will judge them
    for harming my people, my special possession,
for scattering my people among the nations,
    and for dividing up my land.
³ They threw dice^[e] to decide which of my people
    would be their slaves.
They traded boys to obtain prostitutes
    and sold girls for enough wine to get drunk.
