6. And you, sons of Judah and sons of Jerusalem, you have sold the sons of the Greeks, so that you might drive them far from their own territory.
7. Behold, I will raise them up from the place into which you have sold them, and I will turn back your retribution on your own head.
8. And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, a distant nation, for the Lord has spoken.
9. Proclaim this among the Gentiles: "Sanctify a war, raise up the strong. Approach, ascend, all men of war.
10. Cut your ploughs into swords and your hoes into spears. Let the weak say, 'For I am strong.'
11. Break out and advance, all nations of the world, and gather together. There the Lord will cause all your strong ones to meet death."
12. Let them arise and ascend to the valley of Jehoshaphat. For there I will sit, so as to judge all the nations of the world.
13. Send forth the sickles, because the harvest has matured. Advance and descend, for the press is full, the pressing room is overflowing. For their malice has been increasing.
