(A)I will also gather all nations,
And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
And I (B)will enter into judgment with them there
On account of My people, My heritage Israel,
Whom they have scattered among the nations;
They have also divided up My land.

(A)Proclaim this among the nations:
“Prepare for war!
Wake up the mighty men,
Let all the men of war draw near,
Let them come up.
10 (B)Beat your plowshares into swords
And your [a]pruning hooks into spears;
(C)Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ ”
11 Assemble and come, all you nations,
And gather together all around.
Cause (D)Your mighty ones to go down there, O Lord.

12 “Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
For there I will sit to (E)judge all the surrounding nations.
13 (F)Put in the sickle, for (G)the harvest is ripe.
Come, go down;
For the (H)winepress is full,
The vats overflow—
For their wickedness is great.”
