Joel 3:1-3
Evangelical Heritage Version

The Promise of Judgment Against the Nations

3 Look! In those days and at that time,
when I restore the fortunes[a] of Judah and Jerusalem,[b]

2 I will gather all nations
    and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.[c]
    There I will enter into judgment against them
        for the sake of my possession, my people Israel,
        whom they scattered among the nations.
    The nations also divided up my land.
3 They cast lots for my people
    and traded boys to pay prostitutes.
    They sold girls for wine so that they could drink.
