Isaiah 66:6
New King James Version
6 The sound of noise from the city!
A voice from the temple!
The voice of the Lord,
Who fully repays His enemies!
Joel 3:7-16
New King James Version
7 “Behold, (A)I will raise them
Out of the place to which you have sold them,
And will return your [a]retaliation upon your own head.
8 I will sell your sons and your daughters
Into the hand of the people of Judah,
And they will sell them to the (B)Sabeans,[b]
To a people (C)far off;
For the Lord has spoken.”
9 (D)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 (E)Beat your plowshares into swords
And your [c]pruning hooks into spears;
(F)Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ ”
11 Assemble and come, all you nations,
And gather together all around.
Cause (G)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 (H)judge all the surrounding nations.
13 (I)Put in the sickle, for (J)the harvest is ripe.
Come, go down;
For the (K)winepress is full,
The vats overflow—
For their wickedness is great.”
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!
For (L)the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and moon will grow dark,
And the stars will diminish their brightness.
16 The Lord also will roar from Zion,
And utter His voice from Jerusalem;
The heavens and earth will shake;
(M)But the Lord will be a shelter for His people,
And the strength of the children of Israel.

Even repay into their bosom—
7 Your iniquities and (E)the iniquities of your fathers together,”
Says the Lord,
(F)“Who have burned incense on the mountains
(G)And blasphemed Me on the hills;
Therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.”
