1 "3:1 Ch 4:1 in HebFor behold, in those days and at that time,
When I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will gather all the nations
And bring them down to the Valley of 3:2 I.e., YHWH judgesJehoshaphat.
Then I will enter into judgment with them there
On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel,
Whom they have scattered among the nations;
And they have divided up My land.
3 "They have also cast lots for My people,
3:3 Lit GivenTraded a boy for a prostitute,
And sold a girl for wine so that they may drink.
4 Moreover, what are you to Me, Tyre, Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you repaying Me with retribution? But if you are showing Me retribution, swiftly and speedily I will return your retribution on your head! 5 Since you have taken My silver and My gold, brought My precious 3:5 Lit goodly thingstreasures to your temples, 6 and sold the sons of Judahand Jerusalemto the 3:6 Lit sons of JavanGreeks in order to remove them far from their territory, 7 behold, I am going to stir them up from the place where you have sold them, and return your retribution on your head. 8 I will also sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a distant nation," for the Lord has spoken.
9 Proclaim this among the nations:
Prepare for holy war; stir up the warriors!
Have all the soldiers come forward, have them come up!
10 Beat your plowshares into swords,
And your pruning hooks into spears;
Let the weak man say, "I am a warrior."
11 3:11 Or Come helpHurry and come, all you surrounding nations,
And gather yourselves there.
Bring down, Lord, Your warriors.
12 Let the nations be awakened
And come up to the Valley of 3:12 I.e., YHWH judgesJehoshaphat,
For there I will sit to judge
All the surrounding nations.
13 Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe.
Come, tread the grapes, for the wine press is full;
The vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of 3:14 I.e., God’s verdictdecision!
For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of 3:14 I.e., God’s verdictdecision.
15 The sun and moon have become dark,
And the stars have lost their brightness.
16 The Lord roars from Zion
And utters His voice from Jerusalem,
And the heavens and the earth quake.
But the Lord is a refuge for His people,
And a stronghold for the sons of Israel.
17 Then you will know that I am the Lord your God,
Dwelling on Zion, My holy mountain.
So Jerusalemwill be holy,
And strangers will no longer pass through it.
Judah Will Be Blessed
18 And on that day
The mountains will drip with 3:18 Lit freshly pressed-out grape juicesweet wine,
And the hills will flow with milk,
And all the brooks of Judah will flow with water;
And a spring will go out from the house of the Lord
And water the Valley of 3:18 Or acaciasShittim.
19 Egyptwill become a wasteland,
And Edomwill become a desolate wilderness,
Because of the violence 3:19 Lit of the sonsdone to the sons of Judah,
In whose land they have shed innocent blood.
20 But Judah will be inhabited forever,
And Jerusalemfor all generations.
21 And I will avenge their blood which I have not avenged,
For the Lord dwells in Zion.
