Joel 3:9-16

Joel 3:9-16

[9] Proclaim  ye this among the Gentiles;  Prepare  war,  wake up  the mighty men,  let all the men  of war  draw near;  let them come up:  [10] Beat  your plowshares  into swords,  and your pruninghooks  into spears:  let the weak  say,  I am strong.  [11] Assemble  yourselves, and come,  all ye heathen,  and gather yourselves together  round about:  thither cause thy mighty ones  to come down,  O LORD.  [12] 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.  [13] Put  ye in the sickle,  for the harvest  is ripe:  come,  get you down;  for the press  is full,  the fats  overflow;  for their wickedness  is great.  [14] Multitudes,  in the valley  of decision:  for the day  of the LORD  is near  in the valley  of decision.  [15] The sun  and the moon  shall be darkened,  and the stars  shall withdraw  their shining.  [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.
