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.
14. Nations, nations in the valley of being cut to pieces: for the day of the Lord fittingly takes place in the valley of being cut to pieces.
15. The sun and the moon have been darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their splendor.
16. And the Lord will roar from Zion and utter his voice from Jerusalem. And the heavens and the earth will be moved. And the Lord will be the hope of his people and the strength of the sons of Israel.
