⁹ Proclaim this among the nations:
^(A)Consecrate for war;^[a]
    stir up the mighty men.
Let all the men of war draw near;
    let them come up.
^10 (B)Beat your plowshares into swords,
    and ^(C)your pruning hooks into spears;
    let the weak say, “I am a warrior.”

^11 (D)Hasten and come,
    all you surrounding nations,
    and gather yourselves there.
^(E)Bring down your warriors, O Lord.
¹² Let the nations stir themselves up
    and come up to ^(F)the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
^(G)for there I will sit to judge
    all the surrounding nations.

^13 (H)Put in the sickle,
    ^(I)for the harvest is ripe.
^(J)Go in, tread,
    ^(K)for the winepress is full.
The vats overflow,
    for their evil is great.

¹⁴ Multitudes, multitudes,
    in the valley of decision!
For ^(L)the day of the Lord is near
    in the valley of decision.

² Why is your ^(D)apparel red,
    and your garments like his ^(E)who treads in the winepress?

^3 (F)“I have trodden the winepress alone,
    ^(G)and from the peoples no one was with me;
I trod them in my anger
    and trampled them in my wrath;
their lifeblood^[a] spattered on my garments,
    and stained all my apparel.
^4 (H)For the day of vengeance was in my heart,
    and my year of redemption^[b] had come.
⁵ I looked, but ^(I)there was no one to help;
    I was appalled, but there was no one to uphold;
so my own arm brought me salvation,
    and my wrath upheld me.
⁶ I trampled down the peoples in my anger;
    ^(J)I made them drunk in my wrath,
    and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
