⁹ Proclaim this among the nations:
    “Prepare for war!
    Stir up the mighty men.
Let all the warriors draw near.
Let them come up. ¹⁰     Beat your plowshares into swords,
    and your pruning hooks into spears.
    Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’
¹¹ Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations,
    and gather yourselves together.”
Cause your mighty ones to come down there, Yahweh.
¹² “Let the nations arouse themselves,
    and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat;
    for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
¹³ Put in the sickle;
    for the harvest is ripe.
    Come, tread, for the wine press is full,
    the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.”
¹⁴ Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!
    For the day of Yahweh is near, in the valley of decision.
¹⁵ The sun and the moon are darkened,
    and the stars withdraw their shining.
¹⁶ Yahweh will roar from Zion,
    and thunder from Jerusalem;
    and the heavens and the earth will shake;
    but Yahweh will be a refuge to his people,
    and a stronghold to the children of Israel.
