Joel 3:2-4
GOD’S WORD Translation
Joel 3:2-4
GOD’S WORD Translation
2 I will gather all the nations.
I will bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat.[a]
I will judge them there.
They scattered the Israelites, the people who belong to me,
among the nations.
They divided my land.
3 They threw dice for my people.
They traded boys for prostitutes.
They sold girls so that they could buy wine to drink.
4 “Now what do you have against me, Tyre and Sidon
and all the regions of Philistia?
Are you paying me back for something I have done?
If you are paying me back,
I will quickly pay you back for what you have done.
