9 Announce this among the nations:Prepare yourselves for war.Wake up the warriors.Have all the warriors come near and attack.
10 Hammer your plowblades into swordsand your pruning shears into spears.Weaklings should say that they are warriors.
11 Hurry from every direction, and gather there, all you nations.O Lord, bring your soldiers.
12 Wake up, you nations.Come to the valley of Jehoshaphat.There I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
13 Cut them down like grain.The harvest is ripe.Stomp on them as you would stomp on grapes.The winepress is full.The vats overflow.The nations are very wicked.
14 There are many, many people in the valley of decision.The day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and the moon will turn dark.The stars will no longer shine.
