"For behold, in those days and at that time, When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,
2
I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.
3
They have cast lots for My people, Have given a boy as payment for a harlot, And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
4
"Indeed, what have you to do with Me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia? Will you retaliate against Me? But if you retaliate against Me, Swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head;
5
Because you have taken My silver and My gold, And have carried into your temples My prized possessions.
6
Also the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem You have sold to the Greeks, That you may remove them far from their borders.
7
"Behold, I will raise them Out of the place to which you have sold them, And will return your retaliation upon your own head.
8
I will sell your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the people of Judah, And they will sell them to the Sabeans, To a people far off; For the Lord has spoken."
9
Proclaim this among the nations: "Prepare for war! Wake up the mighty men, Let all the men of war draw near, Let them come up.
