9 Say to the nations:“Get ready for war!Be eager to fight.Line up for battleand prepare to attack.
10 Make swords out of ploughsand spears out of garden tools.Strengthen every weakling.”
11 Hurry, all you nations!Come quickly.Ask the Lord to bringhis warriors along.
12 You must come nowto Judgment Valley,where the Lord will judgethe surrounding nations.
13 They are a field of ripe crops.Bring in the harvest!They are grapes piled high.Start trampling them now!If our enemy's sins were wine,every jar would overflow.
14 Crowds fill Decision Valley.The judgment day of the Lordwill soon be here—
15 no light from the sun or moon,and stars no longer shine.
