9 Announce this among the nations:Prepare a holy war,wake up the warriors;let all the soldiers draw near,let them come up!
10 Beat the iron tips of your plows into swordsand your pruning tools into spears;let the weakling say, "I am mighty."
11 Come quickly,all you surrounding nations;gather yourselves there;bring your mighty ones, Lord.
12 Let the nations prepare themselves,and come up to the Jehoshaphat Valley;for there I will sit to judgeall the surrounding nations.
13 Cut with the sickle,for the harvest is ripe.Go and crush grapes,for the winepress is full.The jars overflow with wine,for their wickedness is great.
14 Crowd after crowd fills the valley of judgment,for the day of the Lord is nearin the valley of judgment.
15 The sun and the moon are darkened;the stars have ceased shining.
