Joel 3:2-4
Authorized (King James) Version
2 I will also gather all nations,
and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat,
and will plead with them there for my people
and for my heritage Israel,
whom they have scattered among the nations,
and parted my land.
3 And they have cast lots for my people;
and have given a boy for an harlot,
and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me,
O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine?
will ye render me a recompence?
and if ye recompense me,
swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
Joel 3:2-4
New International Version
2 I will gather(A) all nations
and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.[a](B)
There I will put them on trial(C)
for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel,
because they scattered(D) my people among the nations
and divided up my land.
3 They cast lots(E) for my people
and traded boys for prostitutes;
they sold girls for wine(F) to drink.
4 “Now what have you against me, Tyre and Sidon(G) and all you regions of Philistia?(H) Are you repaying me for something I have done? If you are paying me back, I will swiftly and speedily return on your own heads what you have done.(I)
