Joel 3:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 I will (A)gather all the nations
And bring them down to the (B)Valley of [a]Jehoshaphat.
Then I will (C)enter into judgment with them there
On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel,
Whom they have (D)scattered among the nations;
And they have (E)divided up My land.
3 They have also (F)cast lots for My people,
[b](G)Traded a boy for a prostitute,
And sold a girl for wine so that they may drink.
4 Moreover, what are you to Me, (H)Tyre, Sidon, and all the regions of (I)Philistia? Are you repaying Me with retribution? But if you are showing Me retribution, swiftly and speedily I will (J)return your retribution on your 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)
