1 "In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,2 I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. "There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.3 They cast lots for my people and traded boys for prostitutes; they sold girls for wine to drink.4 "Now what have you 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 return on your own heads what you have done.5 For you took my silver and my gold and carried off my finest treasures to your temples. [^3]6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, that you might send them far from their homeland.7 "See, I am going to rouse them out of the places to which you sold them, and I will return on your own heads what you have done.8 I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, a nation far away." The LORD has spoken.9 Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for war! Rouse the warriors! Let all the fighting men draw near and attack.10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weakling say, "I am strong!"11 Come quickly, all you nations from every side, and assemble there. Bring down your warriors, LORD!12 "Let the nations be roused; let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the nations on every side.13 Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full and the vats overflow — so great is their wickedness!"14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.15 The sun and moon will be darkened, and the stars no longer shine.16 The LORD will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem; the earth and the heavens will tremble. But the LORD will be a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Israel.17 "Then you will know that I, the LORD your God, dwell in Zion, my holy hill. Jerusalem will be holy; never again will foreigners invade her.18 "In that day the mountains will drip new wine, and the hills will flow with milk; all the ravines of Judah will run with water. A fountain will flow out of the LORD's house and will water the valley of acacias. [^4]19 But Egypt will be desolate, Edom a desert waste, because of violence done to the people of Judah, in whose land they shed innocent blood.20 Judah will be inhabited forever and Jerusalem through all generations.21 Shall I leave their innocent blood unavenged? No, I will not." The LORD dwells in Zion!

1 [Quia ecce in diebus illis, et in tempore illo,cum convertero captivitatem Juda et Jerusalem,2 congregabo omnes gentes,et deducam eas in vallem Josaphat ;et disceptabo cum eis ibi super populo meo,et hreditate mea Isral,quos disperserunt in nationibus,et terram meam diviserunt.3 Et super populum meum miserunt sortem ;et posuerunt puerum in prostibulo,et puellam vendiderunt pro vino ut biberent.4 Verum quid mihi et vobis, Tyrus et Sidon,et omnis terminus Palstinorum ?numquid ultionem vos reddetis mihi ?et si ulciscimini vos contra me,cito velociter reddam vicissitudinem vobis super caput vestrum.5 Argentum enim meum et aurum tulistis,et desiderabilia mea et pulcherrima intulistis in delubra vestra.6 Et filios Juda et filios Jerusalem vendidistis filiis Grcorum,ut longe faceretis eos de finibus suis.7 Ecce ego suscitabo eos de loco in quo vendidistis eos,et convertam retributionem vestram in caput vestrum.8 Et vendam filios vestros et filias vestras in manibus filiorum Juda,et venundabunt eos Sabis, genti longinqu,quia Dominus locutus est.9 Clamate hoc in gentibus,sanctificate bellum,suscitate robustos :accedant, ascendant omnes viri bellatores.10 Concidite aratra vestra in gladios,et ligones vestros in lanceas.Infirmus dicat : Quia fortis ego sum.11 Erumpite, et venite, omnes gentes de circuitu,et congregamini ;ibi occumbere faciet Dominus robustos tuos.12 Consurgant, et ascendant gentes in vallem Josaphat,quia ibi sedebo ut judicem omnes gentes in circuitu.13 Mittite falces, quoniam maturavit messis ;venite, et descendite,quia plenum est torcular, exuberant torcularia :quia multiplicata est malitia eorum.14 Populi, populi, in valle concisionis,quia juxta est dies Domini in valle concisionis.15 Sol et luna obtenebrati sunt,et stell retraxerunt splendorem suum.16 Et Dominus de Sion rugiet,et de Jerusalem dabit vocem suam,et movebuntur cli et terra ;et Dominus spes populi sui,et fortitudo filiorum Isral.17 Et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus vester,habitans in Sion monte sancto meo ;et erit Jerusalem sancta,et alieni non transibunt per eam amplius.18 Et erit in die illa : stillabunt montes dulcedinem,et colles fluent lacte,et per omnes rivos Juda ibunt aqu ;et fons de domo Domini egredietur,et irrigabit torrentem spinarum.19 gyptus in desolationem erit,et Iduma in desertum perditionis,pro eo quod inique egerint in filios Juda,et effuderint sanguinem innocentem in terra sua.20 Et Juda in ternum habitabitur,et Jerusalem in generationem et generationem.21 Et mundabo sanguinem eorum, quem non mundaveram ;et Dominus commorabitur in Sion.]
