12 “·Wake up, nations [or Let the nations be roused],
    and come ·to attack in [up to] the Valley ·Where the Lord Judges [L of Jehoshaphat; v. 2].
There I will sit to judge
    all the nations on every side.
13 Swing the ·cutting tool [sickle],
    because the harvest is ripe.
Come, ·walk on them as you would walk on grapes to get their juice [L trample the grapes],
    because the winepress is full
    and the ·barrels [vats] are ·spilling over [overflowing],
because ·these people are so evil [their wickedness/evil is great]!”

14 ·There are huge numbers of people [L Multitudes, multitudes]
    in the Valley of Decision [C the place of the Lord’s verdict against the nations; vv. 2, 12],
because the ·Lord’s day of judging [L day of the Lord; 1:15] is near
    in the Valley of Decision.
