11 Assemble yourselves, and come all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: there shall the Lord cast down the mighty men.

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 in your [a]scythes, for the harvest is ripe, come, get you down, for the winepress is full: yea, the winepresses run over, for their wickedness is great.

  1. Joel 3:13 Thus he shall encourage the enemies when their wickedness is full ripe, to destroy one another, which he calleth the valley of God’s judgment.

11 Come quickly, all you nations from every side,
    and assemble(A) there.

Bring down your warriors,(B) Lord!

12 “Let the nations be roused;
    let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat,(C)
for there I will sit
    to judge(D) all the nations on every side.
13 Swing the sickle,(E)
    for the harvest(F) is ripe.
Come, trample the grapes,(G)
    for the winepress(H) is full
    and the vats overflow—
so great is their wickedness!”
