And (C)be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind,
Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

“Prepare for war!
Wake up the mighty men,

And your [a]pruning hooks into spears;
(C)Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ ”

And gather together all around.

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.”

For (I)the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

New King James Version
The Day of the Lord(A)
14 Behold, (B)the day of the Lord is coming,
And your [a]spoil will be divided in your midst.
2 For (C)I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem;
The city shall be taken,
The houses [b]rifled,
And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then the Lord will go forth
And fight against those nations,
As He fights in the day of battle.

Who say, “Let her be defiled,
And let our eye (B)look upon Zion.”

For He will gather them (D)like sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 “Arise(E) and (F)thresh, O daughter of Zion;
For I will make your horn iron,
And I will make your hooves bronze;
You shall (G)beat in pieces many peoples;
(H)I will consecrate their gain to the Lord,
And their substance to (I)the Lord of the whole earth.”

And the stone that struck the image (E)became a great mountain (F)and filled the whole earth.
