I will strike swiftly and pay you back for everything you have done. 5 You have taken my silver and gold and all my precious treasures, and have carried them off to your pagan temples. 6 You have sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, so they could take them far from their homeland. 7 “But I will bring them back from all the places to which you sold them, and I will pay you back for everything you have done. 8 I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the people of Arabia, a nation far away. I, the LORD, have spoken!” 9 Say to the nations far and wide: Let all your fighting men advance for the attack. 10 Hammer your plowshares into swords Train even your weaklings to be warriors. 11 Come quickly, all you nations everywhere. And now, O LORD, call out your warriors! 12 “Let the nations be called to arms. to pronounce judgment on them all. 13 Swing the sickle, with the wickedness of these people.” 14 Thousands upon thousands are waiting in the valley of decision. There the day of the LORD will soon arrive. 15 The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will no longer shine. 16 The LORD’s voice will roar from Zion a strong fortress for the people of Israel. 17 “Then you will know that I, the LORD your God, and foreign armies will never conquer her again. 18 In that day the mountains will drip with sweet wine, watering the arid valley of acacias. 19 But Egypt will become a wasteland and killed innocent people in their land. 20 “But Judah will be filled with people forever, and Jerusalem will endure through all generations. 21 I will pardon my people’s crimes, in Jerusalem with my people.”
