11 [a](A)Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations,
And gather yourselves there.
Bring down, O Lord, Your (B)mighty ones.
12 Let the nations be aroused
And come up to the (C)valley of [b]Jehoshaphat,
For there I will sit to (D)judge
All the surrounding nations.
13 (E)Put in the sickle, for the (F)harvest is ripe.
Come, (G)tread, for the (H)wine press is full;
The vats overflow, for their (I)wickedness is great.
