9 Proclaim this among the nations:Consecrate a war!Stir up the mighty men!Let all the men of war draw near and rise.
10 Beat your plowshares into swordsand your pruning hooks into spears;let the weakling say,“I am a warrior!”
11 Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations,and gather there. Bring down Your warriors, O Lord.
12 Let the nations be roused,and go up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;for there I will sitto judge all the surrounding nations.
13 Swing the sickle,for the harvest is ripe.Come and tread,for the winepress is full.The wine vats overflow,because their evil is great.
14 Multitudes, multitudes,in the valley of decision!For the day of the Lord is nearin the valley of the decision.
15 The sun and moon darken,and the stars withdraw their radiance.
