Joel 3:2-4
International Standard Version
Joel 3:2-4
International Standard Version
2 I will gather all nations,
bringing them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.
I will set out my case against[a] them there,
on behalf of my people, my heritage Israel,
whom they scattered among the nations,
apportioning my land among themselves.[b]
3 They cast lots for my people—
they sold a young boy in exchange for a prostitute,
and a girl for wine,
so they could drink.”
The Lord’s Judgment upon Philistia
4 “Furthermore, what have you to do with me,
Tyre, Sidon, and all the sea coasts of Philistia?
Are you taking revenge on me?
If you are taking revenge on me,
I’ll send it back on you[c] swiftly and promptly,

2 I will gather(A) all nations
and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.[a](B)

and divided up my land.

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)
