Joel 3

1

when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

2

They have divided my land,

3

and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.

4

I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head.

5

and have carried my finest treasures into your temples,

6

that you may remove them far from their border.

7

and will return your repayment on your own head;

8

for Yahweh has spoken it.”

9

Let them come up.

10

Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’

11

Cause your mighty ones to come down there, Yahweh.

12

for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.

13

the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.”

14

For the day of Yahweh is near, in the valley of decision.

15

and the stars withdraw their shining.

16

and a stronghold to the children of Israel.

17

and no strangers will pass through her any more.

18

and will water the valley of Shittim.

19

because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

20

and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

21

for Yahweh dwells in Zion.”
