⁹ Announce this among the nations:
    Prepare a holy war,
        wake up the warriors;
    let all the soldiers draw near,
        let them come up!
¹⁰ Beat the iron tips of your plows into swords
            and your pruning tools into spears;
        let the weakling say, “I am mighty.”
¹¹ Come quickly,
        all you surrounding nations;
    gather yourselves there;
        bring your mighty ones, Lord.
¹² Let the nations prepare themselves,
        and come up to the Jehoshaphat Valley;
            for there I will sit to judge
                all the surrounding nations.
¹³ Cut with the sickle,
        for the harvest is ripe.
    Go and crush grapes,
        for the winepress is full.
    The jars overflow with wine,
        for their wickedness is great.
¹⁴ Crowd after crowd fills the valley of judgment,
    for the day of the Lord is near
        in the valley of judgment.
¹⁵ The sun and the moon are darkened;
    the stars have ceased shining.

¹⁶ The Lord roars from Zion,
        and utters his voice from Jerusalem;
        the heavens and the earth quake.
    But the Lord is a refuge for his people,
        a shelter for the people of Israel.
