10. Beat your plowshares into swords,and your pruning hooks into spears!Let the weak say, ‘I too am a warrior!’
11. Lend your aid and come,all you surrounding nations,and gather yourselves to that place.”Bring down, O Lord, your warriors!
12. Let the nations be roused and let them go upto the valley of Jehoshaphat,for there I will sit in judgment on all the surrounding nations.
13. Rush forth with the sickle, for the harvest is ripe!Come, stomp the grapes, for the winepress is full!The vats overflow.Indeed, their evil is great!
14. Crowds, great crowds are in the valley of decision,for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision!
15. The sun and moon are darkened;the stars withhold their brightness.
16. The Lord roars from Zion;from Jerusalem his voice bellows out.The heavens and the earth shake.But the Lord is a refuge for his people;he is a stronghold for the citizens of Israel.
17. You will be convinced that I the Lord am your God,dwelling on Zion, my holy mountain.Jerusalem will be holy – conquering armies will no longer pass through it.
