Judgment in the Valley of Jehoshaphat

Proclaim this among the nations:
Consecrate yourselves for war;
    stir up the warriors.
Let all the soldiers draw near;

    and your pruning hooks into spears;
    let the weakling say, “I am a warrior.”(A)

    all you nations all around;

Bring down your warriors, O Lord.(B)
