Joel 3:7-13 Common English Bible (CEB)

7. But now I am calling them from the places where you have sold them, and I will repay you for your deeds.

8. I will sell your sons and your daughters as a possession of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation far away; for the Lord has spoken.

9. Announce this among the nations:Prepare a holy war,wake up the warriors;let all the soldiers draw near,let them come up!

10. Beat the iron tips of your plows into swordsand your pruning tools into spears;let the weakling say, "I am mighty."

11. Come quickly,all you surrounding nations;gather yourselves there;bring your mighty ones, Lord.

12. Let the nations prepare themselves,and come up to the Jehoshaphat Valley;for there I will sit to judgeall the surrounding nations.

13. Cut with the sickle,for the harvest is ripe.Go and crush grapes,for the winepress is full.The jars overflow with wine,for their wickedness is great.
