1 “In those days and at that time,when I will make things better for Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will gather all the nations togetherand bring them down into the Valley Where the Lord Judges.There I will judge them,because those nations scattered my own people Israeland forced them to live in other nations.They divided up my land
3 and threw lots for my people.They traded boys for prostitutes,and they sold girls to buy wine to drink.
4 “Tyre and Sidon and all of you regions of Philistia! What did you have against me? Were you punishing me for something I did, or were you doing something to hurt me? I will very quickly do to you what you have done to me.
5 You took my silver and gold, and you put my precious treasures in your temples.
6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks so that you could send them far from their land.
7 “You sent my people to that faraway place, but I will get them and bring them back, and I will do to you what you have done to them.
