9 Announce this among the nations:Prepare for war!Wake up the soldiers!Let all the men of war come near and attack.
10 Make swords from your plows,and make spears from your hooks for trimming trees.Let even the weak person say,“I am a soldier.”
11 All of you nations, hurry,and come together in that place.Lord, send your soldiersto gather the nations.
12 “Wake up, nations,and come to attack in the Valley Where the Lord Judges.There I will sit to judgeall the nations on every side.
13 Swing the cutting tool,because the harvest is ripe.Come, walk on them as you would walk on grapes to get their juice,because the winepress is fulland the barrels are spilling over,because these people are so evil!”
14 There are huge numbers of peoplein the Valley of Decision,because the Lord’s day of judging is nearin the Valley of Decision.
15 The sun and the moon will become dark,and the stars will stop shining.
