Joel 3:9-16
Legacy Standard Bible
9 (A)Call out this message among the nations:
(B)Set yourselves apart for a war; (C)rouse the mighty men!
Let all the men of war approach, let them come up!
10 (D)Beat your plowshares into swords
And your pruning hooks into spears;
(E)Let the weak say, “I am a mighty man.”
11 [a](F)Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations,
And gather yourselves.
There, bring down, O Yahweh, Your (G)mighty ones.
12 Let the nations be roused up
And come up to the (H)valley of [b]Jehoshaphat,
For there I will sit to (I)judge
All the surrounding nations.
13 (J)Send in the sickle, for the (K)harvest is ripe.
Come, [c](L)tread, for the (M)wine press is full;
The vats overflow, for their (N)evil is great.
14 (O)Multitudes, multitudes in the (P)valley of [d]decision!
For the (Q)day of Yahweh is near in the valley of [e]decision.
15 The (R)sun and moon grow dark,
And the stars lose their brightness.
16 And Yahweh (S)roars from Zion
And (T)gives forth His voice from Jerusalem,
And the (U)heavens and the earth quake.
But Yahweh is a (V)refuge for His people
And a (W)strong defense to the sons of Israel.
Joel 3:9-16
New International Version
9 Proclaim this among the nations:
Prepare for war!(A)
Rouse the warriors!(B)
Let all the fighting men draw near and attack.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords
and your pruning hooks(C) into spears.(D)
Let the weakling(E) say,
“I am strong!”(F)
11 Come quickly, all you nations from every side,
and assemble(G) there.
Bring down your warriors,(H) Lord!
12 “Let the nations be roused;
let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat,(I)
for there I will sit
to judge(J) all the nations on every side.
13 Swing the sickle,(K)
for the harvest(L) is ripe.
Come, trample the grapes,(M)
for the winepress(N) is full
and the vats overflow—
so great is their wickedness!”
14 Multitudes,(O) multitudes
in the valley(P) of decision!
For the day of the Lord(Q) is near
in the valley of decision.(R)
15 The sun and moon will be darkened,
and the stars no longer shine.(S)
16 The Lord will roar(T) from Zion
and thunder from Jerusalem;(U)
the earth and the heavens will tremble.(V)
But the Lord will be a refuge(W) for his people,
a stronghold(X) for the people of Israel.
