Joel 3:1-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

² I will gather all nations
    and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.^[c]
    There I will enter into judgment against them
        for the sake of my possession, my people Israel,
        whom they scattered among the nations.
    The nations also divided up my land.
³ They cast lots for my people
    and traded boys to pay prostitutes.
    They sold girls for wine so that they could drink.

⁴ Tell me, what do you have against me,
        Tyre and Sidon, and all you regions of Philistia?
    Are you repaying me for something I have done?
    If you are paying me back,
    I will swiftly and speedily repay onto your own heads what you have done,
⁵ because you took my silver and my gold,
    and you carried off my best treasures to your temples.
⁶ You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks,
    in order to send them far from their own borders.
⁷ See, I am going to rouse them out of the places to which you sold them,
    and I will make what you have done return on your own heads.
⁸ I will sell your sons and daughters into the hands of the people of Judah,
    and they will sell them to the Sabeans, a nation far away.^[d]
    Yes, the Lord has spoken.
