|
|
I will also gather all nations, and will bring
them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my
people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations,
and parted my land. |
| |
|
|
|
JOE 3:3

JOE 3:4
Joel 3:4
|
|
Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre,

if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your
own head; |
| |
|
|
|
JOE 3:5
Joel 3:5
|
|
Because ye have taken my silver and my gold,
and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things: |
| |
|
|

JOE 3:8
Joel 3:8
|
|
And I will sell your sons and your daughters
into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans,
to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it. |

|
|
|
JOE 3:9

war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: |
|
|
|
|
JOE 3:10

|
|
Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks
into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. |
|
|
|
|
JOE 3:11
Joel 3:11
|
|
Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen,
and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come
down, O LORD. |

Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the
valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. |

|
JOE 3:13
Joel 3:13
|

Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe:

|
|
|

|
|
JOE 3:16
Joel 3:16
|
|
The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter
his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD
will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. |
|
|
|
|
JOE 3:17
Joel 3:17
|
|
So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God
dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall
no strangers pass through her any more. |
|
|
|
|
JOE 3:18
Joel 3:18
|
|
And it shall come to pass in that day, that
the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and
all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth
out of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim. |
|
|
|
|
JOE 3:19
Joel 3:19
|
|
Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall
be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because
they have shed innocent blood in their land. |
