I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah. Then they will sell them to the faraway Sabeans.[a]” This is what the Lord said.

Prepare for War

Announce this among the nations:
    Prepare for war!
Wake up the strong men!
    Let all the men of war come near.
    Let them come up!
10 Beat your plows into swords.
    Make spears from your pruning hooks.[b]
Let the weak man say,
    “I am a strong soldier.”
