Joel 3:12-21 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

12. “Let the gentiles be aroused, and come up to the Valley of Yehoshaphat. For there I shall sit to judge all the gentiles on every side.

13. “Put in the sickle, for the harvest has grown ripe. Come, go down, for the winepress is filled, the vats overflow, for their evil is great.”

14. Crowds, crowds in the valley of decision! For the day of יהוה is near in the valley of decision.

15. Sun and moon shall become dark, and stars shall withdraw their brightness.

16. And יהוה shall roar from Tsiyon, and give forth His voice from Yerushalayim. And the heavens and earth shall shake, but יהוה shall be a refuge for His people, and a stronghold for the children of Yisra’ĕl.

17. “Then you shall know that I am יהוה your Elohim, dwelling in Tsiyon, My set-apart mountain. And Yerushalayim shall be set-apart, and foreigners shall not pass through her again.

18. “And it shall be in that day that the mountains drip with new wine, and the hills flow with milk. And all the streams of Yehuḏah shall be flooded with water, and a fountain flow from the House of יהוה and water the wadi Shittim.

19. “Mitsrayim shall become a ruin, and Eḏom a ruin, a wilderness, because of violence done to the people of Yehuḏah, whose innocent blood they shed in their land.

20. “But Yehuḏah shall dwell forever, and Yerushalayim to all generations.

21. “And I shall avenge their blood, which I have not avenged. And יהוה shall be dwelling in Tsiyon!”
