9 Proclaim this among the nations:Prepare for war!Rouse the warriors!Let all the fighting men draw near and attack.
10 Beat your ploughshares into swordsand your pruning hooks into spears.Let the weakling say,‘I am strong!’
11 Come quickly, all you nations from every side,and assemble there.Bring down your warriors, Lord!
12 ‘Let the nations be roused;let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat,for there I will sitto judge all the nations on every side.
13 Swing the sickle,for the harvest is ripe.Come, trample the grapes,for the winepress is fulland the vats overflow –so great is their wickedness!’
14 Multitudes, multitudesin the valley of decision!For the day of the Lord is nearin the valley of decision.
15 The sun and moon will be darkened,and the stars no longer shine.
