12 Let the nations be aroused
And come up to the (A)valley of [a]Jehoshaphat,
For there I will sit to (B)judge
All the surrounding nations.
13 (C)Put in the sickle, for the (D)harvest is ripe.
Come, (E)tread, for the (F)wine press is full;
The vats overflow, for their (G)wickedness is great.
14 (H)Multitudes, multitudes in the (I)valley of [b]decision!
For the (J)day of the Lord is near in the valley of [c]decision.
