9 Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for holy war; rouse the warriors; let all the men of war advance and attack!
10 Beat your plows into swordsand your pruning knives into spears. Let even the weakling say, “I am a warrior.”
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.
