Joel 3:1-20

3:1

For, behold, in those days
<03117>_,

and in that time
<06256>_,

when I shall bring again
<07725> (8686) (8675) <07725> (8799)

the captivity
<07622>

of Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

3:2

I will also gather
<06908> (8765)

all nations
<01471>_,

and will bring them down
<03381> (8689)

into the valley
<06010>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,

and will plead
<08199> (8738)

with them there for my people
<05971>

and [for] my heritage
<05159>

Israel
<03478>_,

whom they have scattered
<06340> (8765)

among the nations
<01471>_,

and parted
<02505> (8765)

my land
<0776>_.

3:3

And they have cast
<03032> (8804)

lots
<01486>

for my people
<05971>_;

and have given
<05414> (8799)

a boy
<03206>

for an harlot
<02181> (8802)_,

and sold
<04376> (8804)

a girl
<03207>

for wine
<03196>_,

that they might drink
<08354> (8799)_.

3:4

Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre
<06865>_,

and Zidon
<06721>_,

and all the coasts
<01552>

of Palestine
<06429>_?

will ye render
<07999> (8764)

me a recompence
<01576>_?

and if ye recompense
<01580> (8802)

me, swiftly
<07031>

[and] speedily
<04120>

will I return
<07725> (8686)

your recompence
<01576>

upon your own head
<07218>_;

3:5

Because ye have taken
<03947> (8804)

my silver
<03701>

and my gold
<02091>_,

and have carried
<0935> (8689)

into your temples
<01964>

my goodly
<02896>

pleasant things
<04261>_:

{pleasant: Heb. desirable}

3:6

The children
<01121>

also of Judah
<03063>

and the children
<01121>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

have ye sold
<04376> (8804)

unto the Grecians
<03125> <01121>_,

that ye might remove them far
<07368> (8687)

from their border
<01366>_.

{the Grecians: Heb. the sons of the Grecians}

3:7

Behold, I will raise
<05782> (8688)

them out of the place
<04725>

whither ye have sold
<04376> (8804)

them, and will return
<07725> (8689)

your recompence
<01576>

upon your own head
<07218>_:

3:8

And I will sell
<04376> (8804)

your sons
<01121>

and your daughters
<01323>

into the hand
<03027>

of the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and they shall sell
<04376> (8804)

them to the Sabeans
<07615>_,

to a people
<01471>

far off
<07350>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it].

3:9

Proclaim
<07121> (8798)

ye this among the Gentiles
<01471>_;

Prepare
<06942> (8761)

war
<04421>_,

wake up
<05782> (8685)

the mighty men
<01368>_,

let all the men
<0582>

of war
<04421>

draw near
<05066> (8799)_;

let them come up
<05927> (8799)_:

{Prepare: Heb. Sanctify}

3:10

Beat
<03807> (8798)

your plowshares
<0855>

into swords
<02719>_,

and your pruninghooks
<04211>

into spears
<07420>_:

let the weak
<02523>

say
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] strong
<01368>_.

{pruninghooks: or, scythes}

3:11

Assemble
<05789> (8798)

yourselves, and come
<0935> (8798)_,

all ye heathen
<01471>_,

and gather yourselves together
<06908> (8738)

round about
<05439>_:

thither cause thy mighty ones
<01368>

to come down
<05181> (8685)_,

O LORD
<03068>_.

{cause...: or, the LORD shall bring down}

3:12

Let the heathen
<01471>

be wakened
<05782> (8735)_,

and come up
<05927> (8799)

to the valley
<06010>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>_:

for there will I sit
<03427> (8799)

to judge
<08199> (8800)

all the heathen
<01471>

round about
<05439>_.

3:13

Put
<07971> (8798)

ye in the sickle
<04038>_,

for the harvest
<07105>

is ripe
<01310> (8804)_:

come
<0935> (8798)_,

get you down
<03381> (8798)_;

for the press
<01660>

is full
<04390> (8804)_,

the fats
<03342>

overflow
<07783> (8689)_;

for their wickedness
<07451>

[is] great
<07227>_.

3:14

Multitudes
<01995>_,

multitudes
<01995>

in the valley
<06010>

<02742>_:

for the day
<03117>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] near
<07138>

in the valley
<06010>

of decision
<02742>_.

3:15

The sun
<08121>

and the moon
<03394>

shall be darkened
<06937> (8804)_,

and the stars
<03556>

shall withdraw
<0622> (8804)

their shining
<05051>_.

3:16

The LORD
<03068>

also shall roar
<07580> (8799)

out of Zion
<06726>_,

and utter
<05414> (8799)

his voice
<06963>

from Jerusalem
<03389>_;

and the heavens
<08064>

and the earth
<0776>

shall shake
<07493> (8804)_:

but the LORD
<03068>

[will be] the hope
<04268>

of his people
<05971>_,

and the strength
<04581>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{hope: Heb. place of repair, or, harbour}

3:17

So shall ye know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

dwelling
<07931> (8802)

in Zion
<06726>_,

my holy
<06944>

mountain
<02022>_:

then shall Jerusalem
<03389>

be holy
<06944>_,

and there shall no strangers
<02114> (8801)

pass through
<05674> (8799)

her any more. {holy: Heb. holiness}

3:18

And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,

[that] the mountains
<02022>

shall drop down

new wine
<06071>_,

and the hills
<01389>

shall flow
<03212> (8799)

with milk
<02461>_,

and all the rivers
<0650>

of Judah
<03063>

shall flow
<03212> (8799)

with waters
<04325>_,

and a fountain
<04599>

shall come forth
<03318> (8799)

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and shall water
<08248> (8689)

the valley

of Shittim
<07851>_.

{flow: Heb. go}

3:19

Egypt
<04714>

shall be a desolation
<08077>_,

and Edom
<0123>

shall be a desolate
<08077>

wilderness
<04057>_,

for the violence
<02555>

[against] the children
<01121>

<08210> (8804)

innocent

in their land
<0776>_.

to generation
<01755>_.
