11 Come quickly, all you surrounding nations;gather yourselves. Bring down Your warriors there, Lord.
12 Let the nations be rousedand come to the Valley of Jehoshaphat,for there I will sit downto judge all the surrounding nations.
13 Swing the sicklebecause the harvest is ripe. Come and trample the grapesbecause the winepress is full; the wine vats overflowbecause the wickedness of the nations is great.
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!For the Day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and moon will grow dark,and the stars will cease their shining.
16 The Lord will roar from Zion and raise His voice from Jerusalem; heaven and earth will shake. But the Lord will be a refuge for His people, a stronghold for the Israelites.
17 Then you will knowthat I am Yahweh your God, who dwells in Zion, My holy mountain. Jerusalem will be holy, and foreigners will never overrun it again.
