2 I will gather all of the nations together. I will bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will judge them. I will punish them for what they have done to my people Israel. They scattered them among the nations. They divided up my land among themselves.
3 They cast lots for my people. They sold boys into slavery to get prostitutes. They sold girls to buy some wine to drink.
4 "Tyre and Sidon, why are you doing things like that to me? And why are you doing them, all of you people in Philistia? Are you trying to get even with me for something I have done? If you are, I will pay you back for it in a quick and speedy way.
5 You took my silver and gold. You carried off my finest treasures to your temples.
6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks. You wanted to send them far away from their own country.
7 "But now I will stir them up into action. I will bring them back from the places you sold them to. And I will do to you what you did to them.
8 I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah. And they will sell them to the Sabeans far away." The Lord has spoken.
