Joel 3:9-15
English Standard Version
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.
15 (M)The sun and the moon are darkened,
and the stars withdraw their shining.
