Joel 3:11-13
The Message
Joel 3:11-13
The Message
9-11 Announce this to the godless nations:
Prepare for battle!
Soldiers at attention!
Present arms! Advance!
Turn your shovels into swords,
turn your hoes into spears.
Let the weak one throw out his chest
and say, “I’m tough, I’m a fighter.”
Hurry up, pagans! Wherever you are, get a move on!
Get your act together.
Prepare to be
shattered by God!
12 Let the pagan nations set out
for Judgment Valley.
There I’ll take my place at the bench
and judge all the surrounding nations.
13 “Swing the sickle—
the harvest is ready.
Stomp on the grapes—
the winepress is full.
The wine vats are full,
overflowing with vintage evil.
Joel 3:11-13
New International Version
Joel 3:11-13
New International Version
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!”
