30 I will show wonders in the heavens(A)
    and on the earth,(B)
    blood and fire and billows of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness(C)
    and the moon to blood
    before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.(D)
32 And everyone who calls
    on the name of the Lord(E) will be saved;(F)
for on Mount Zion(G) and in Jerusalem
    there will be deliverance,(H)
    as the Lord has said,
even among the survivors(I)
    whom the Lord calls.[a](J)

The Nations Judged

[b]“In those days and at that time,
    when I restore the fortunes(K) of Judah(L) and Jerusalem,
I will gather(M) all nations
    and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.[c](N)
There I will put them on trial(O)
    for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel,
because they scattered(P) my people among the nations
    and divided up my land.
They cast lots(Q) for my people
    and traded boys for prostitutes;
    they sold girls for wine(R) to drink.

“Now what have you against me, Tyre and Sidon(S) and all you regions of Philistia?(T) Are you repaying me for something I have done? If you are paying me back, I will swiftly and speedily return on your own heads what you have done.(U) For you took my silver and my gold and carried off my finest treasures to your temples.[d](V) You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks,(W) that you might send them far from their homeland.

“See, I am going to rouse them out of the places to which you sold them,(X) and I will return(Y) on your own heads what you have done. I will sell your sons(Z) and daughters to the people of Judah,(AA) and they will sell them to the Sabeans,(AB) a nation far away.” The Lord has spoken.(AC)
