Joel 3:11-13

New International Reader's Version

Lord, send down your soldiers from heaven!

“Stir up the nations into action!
    Let them march into the valley
    where I will judge them.
I will take my seat in court.
    I will judge all the surrounding nations.
¹³ My soldiers, swing your blades.
    The nations are ripe for harvest.
Come and stomp on them as if they were grapes.
    Crush them until the winepress of my anger is full.
Do it until the wine spills over
    from the places where it is stored.
    The nations have committed far too many sins!”
