Joel 3:2-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 I will gather all the nations(A)
and take them to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.[a](B)
I will enter into judgment with them there(C)
because of My people, My inheritance Israel.
The nations have scattered the Israelites
in foreign countries(D)
and divided up My land.(E)
3 They cast lots for My people;(F)
they bartered a boy for a prostitute
and sold a girl for wine to drink.(G)
4 And also: Tyre,(H) Sidon, and all the territories of Philistia(I)—what are you to Me? Are you paying Me back or trying to get even with Me? I will quickly bring retribution on your heads.(J)

2 I will gather(A) all nations
