12 Let the nations be aroused
And come up to the (A)valley of [a]Jehoshaphat,
For there I will sit to (B)judge
All the surrounding nations.
13 (C)Put in the sickle, for the (D)harvest is ripe.
Come, (E)tread, for the (F)wine press is full;
The vats overflow, for their (G)wickedness is great.
14 (H)Multitudes, multitudes in the (I)valley of [b]decision!
For the (J)day of the Lord is near in the valley of [c]decision.
15 The (K)sun and moon grow dark
And the stars lose their brightness.
16 The Lord (L)roars from Zion
And (M)utters His voice from Jerusalem,
And the (N)heavens and the earth tremble.
But the Lord is a (O)refuge for His people
And a (P)stronghold to the sons of Israel.
