For, behold, in those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, when I shall bring againH7725+H7725 the captivityH7622 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389,
I will also gatherH6908 all nationsH1471, and will bring them downH3381 into the valleyH6010 of JehoshaphatH3092, and will pleadH8199 with them there for my peopleH5971 and for my heritageH5159 IsraelH3478, whom they have scatteredH6340 among the nationsH1471, and partedH2505 my landH776.
And they have castH3032 lotsH1486 for my peopleH5971; and have givenH5414 a boyH3206 for an harlotH2181, and soldH4376 a girlH3207 for wineH3196, that they might drinkH8354.
Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O TyreH6865, and ZidonH6721, and all the coastsH1552 of PalestineH6429? will ye renderH7999 me a recompenceH1576? and if ye recompenseH1580 me, swiftlyH7031 and speedilyH4120 will I returnH7725 your recompenceH1576 upon your own headH7218;

The childrenH1121 also of JudahH3063 and the childrenH1121 of JerusalemH3389 have ye soldH4376 unto the GreciansH3125+H1121, that ye might remove them farH7368 from their borderH1366. {the Grecians: Heb. the sons of the Grecians}
Behold, I will raiseH5782 them out of the placeH4725 whither ye have soldH4376 them, and will returnH7725 your recompenceH1576 upon your own headH7218:
And I will sellH4376 your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 into the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, and they shall sellH4376 them to the SabeansH7615, to a peopleH1471 far offH7350: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
ProclaimH7121 ye this among the GentilesH1471; PrepareH6942 warH4421, wake upH5782 the mighty menH1368, let all the menH582 of warH4421 draw nearH5066; let them come upH5927: {Prepare: Heb. Sanctify}

AssembleH5789 yourselves, and comeH935, all ye heathenH1471, and gather yourselves togetherH6908 round aboutH5439: thither cause thy mighty onesH1368 to come downH5181, O LORDH3068. {cause…: or, the LORD shall bring down}
Let the heathenH1471 be wakenedH5782, and come upH5927 to the valleyH6010 of JehoshaphatH3092: for there will I sitH3427 to judgeH8199 all the heathenH1471 round aboutH5439.
PutH7971 ye in the sickleH4038, for the harvestH7105 is ripeH1310: comeH935, get you downH3381; for the pressH1660 is fullH4390, the fatsH3342 overflowH7783; for their wickednessH7451 is greatH7227.
MultitudesH1995, multitudesH1995 in the valleyH6010 of decisionH2742: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138 in the valleyH6010 of decisionH2742. {decision: or, concision, or, threshing}
The sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be darkenedH6937, and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622 their shiningH5051.
The LORDH3068 also shall roarH7580 out of ZionH6726, and utterH5414 his voiceH6963 from JerusalemH3389; and the heavensH8064 and the earthH776 shall shakeH7493: but the LORDH3068 will be the hopeH4268 of his peopleH5971, and the strengthH4581 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. {hope: Heb. place of repair, or, harbour}
So shall ye knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430 dwellingH7931 in ZionH6726, my holyH6944 mountainH2022: then shall JerusalemH3389 be holyH6944, and there shall no strangersH2114 pass throughH5674 her any more. {holy: Heb. holiness}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the mountainsH2022 shall drop downH5197 new wineH6071, and the hillsH1389 shall flowH3212 with milkH2461, and all the riversH650 of JudahH3063 shall flowH3212 with watersH4325, and a fountainH4599 shall come forthH3318 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and shall waterH8248 the valleyH5158 of ShittimH7851. {flow: Heb. go}
EgyptH4714 shall be a desolationH8077, and EdomH123 shall be a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057, for the violenceH2555 against the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, because they have shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in their landH776.
But JudahH3063 shall dwellH3427 for everH5769, and JerusalemH3389 from generationH1755 to generationH1755. {dwell: or, abide}
For I will cleanseH5352 their bloodH1818 that I have not cleansedH5352: for the LORDH3068 dwellethH7931 in ZionH6726. {for the…: or, even I the LORD that}
