“Prepare for war!
Wake up the mighty men,
Let all the men of war draw near,
Let them come up.
10 (B)Beat your plowshares into swords
And your [a]pruning hooks into spears;
(C)Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ ”
11 Assemble and come, all you nations,
And gather together all around.
Cause (D)Your mighty ones to go down there, O Lord.

For there I will sit to (E)judge all the surrounding nations.
13 (F)Put in the sickle, for (G)the harvest is ripe.
Come, go down;
For the (H)winepress is full,
The vats overflow—
For their wickedness is great.”
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!
For (I)the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and moon will grow dark,
And the stars will diminish their brightness.

And utter His voice from Jerusalem;
The heavens and earth will shake;
(J)But the Lord will be a shelter for His people,
And the strength of the children of Israel.

12 And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem:
Their flesh shall [a]dissolve while they stand on their feet,
Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets,
And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.
13 It shall come to pass in that day
That (A)a great panic from the Lord will be among them.
Everyone will seize the hand of his neighbor,
And raise (B)his hand against his neighbor’s hand;
14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem.
(C)And the wealth of all the surrounding nations
Shall be gathered together:
Gold, silver, and apparel in great abundance.
15 (D)Such also shall be the plague
On the horse and the mule,
On the camel and the donkey,
And on all the cattle that will be in those camps.
So shall this plague be.
The Nations Worship the King
16 And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall (E)go up from year to year to (F)worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep (G)the Feast of Tabernacles. 17 (H)And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain. 18 If the family of (I)Egypt will not come up and enter in, (J)they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the Lord strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 19 This shall be the [b]punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
