1 For|strong="H5921", in|strong="H5921" those|strong="H3605" days and|strong="H1121" in|strong="H5921" that|strong="H7200" time|strong="H1961", when|strong="H1961" I|strong="H5921" bring|strong="H1323" back again|strong="H1961" the|strong="H3605" captivity of|strong="H1121" Judah and|strong="H1121" Jerusalem,
2 I|strong="H3117" will|strong="H5650" also|strong="H1571" gather all|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" nations and|strong="H3117" bring them|strong="H1992" down|strong="H5921" into|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" Valley of|strong="H3117" Jehoshaphat, and|strong="H3117" there|strong="H1992" I|strong="H3117" will|strong="H5650" enter into|strong="H5921" judgment with|strong="H5921" them|strong="H1992" for|strong="H5921" my|strong="H5921" people|strong="H1571" and|strong="H3117" my|strong="H5921" heritage Israel, whom|strong="H1992" they|strong="H1992" have|strong="H1571" scattered among|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" nations, and|strong="H3117" divided my|strong="H5921" land.
3 They|strong="H6227" have|strong="H5414" cast|strong="H5414" lots for|strong="H8064" my|strong="H5414" people|strong="H1818".
4 What|strong="H3372" are|strong="H3117" you|strong="H6440" to|strong="H3068" me|strong="H6440", Tyre and|strong="H3068" Sidon and|strong="H3068" all|strong="H1419" the|strong="H6440" districts of|strong="H3068" Philistia? Were|strong="H3117" you|strong="H6440" repaying any|strong="H6440" deed of|strong="H3068" mine|strong="H6440", or|strong="H3117" were|strong="H3117" you|strong="H6440" doing something for|strong="H6440" me|strong="H6440"? Quickly will|strong="H3068" I|strong="H3117" return your|strong="H3068" deed upon|strong="H6440" your|strong="H3068" heads.
5 You|strong="H3588" who|strong="H3605" have|strong="H1961" taken|strong="H1961" my|strong="H3605" silver and|strong="H3068" my|strong="H3605" gold, and|strong="H3068" you|strong="H3588" have|strong="H1961" brought|strong="H1961" my|strong="H3605" goodly jewels into|strong="H1961" your|strong="H3068" palaces,
6 you have sold the people of Judah and of Jerusalem to the Greeks, so that you might remove them far from their own borders.
7 I am about to stir them up from the place to which you have sold them, and I will turn your deeds upon your own head.
8 I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a|strong="H3068" nation far off, for the Lord has spoken.
9 Proclaim this among the nations, sanctify war.
10 Beat your ploughshares into swords,
11 Bestir yourselves and come,
12 Let the nations rouse themselves
13 Put in the sickle,
14 Noisy multitudes, noisy multitudes
15 Sun and moon have turned dark,
16 Whenever the Lord roars from Zion
17 And you will know that I am the Lord your God,
18 In that day,
19 Egypt will become a|strong="H3068" desolation,
20 Judah will remain inhabited forever,
21 I will avenge their blood which I have not yet avenged.
