11 Come quickly,[a] all you surrounding nations;
gather yourselves.(A)
Bring down your warriors there, Lord.(B)

12 Let the nations be roused
and come to the Valley of Jehoshaphat,
for there I will sit down
to judge all the surrounding nations.(C)
13 Swing the sickle
because the harvest is ripe.(D)
Come and trample the grapes
because the winepress is full;(E)
the wine vats overflow
because the wickedness of the nations is extreme.(F)
