Joel 3:7-9

New King James Version

⁷“Behold, ^(A)I will raise them
Out of the place to which you have sold them,
And will return your ^[a]retaliation upon your own head.
⁸I will sell your sons and your daughters
Into the hand of the people of Judah,
And they will sell them to the ^(B)Sabeans,^[b]
To a people ^(C)far off;
For the Lord has spoken.”

⁹^(D)Proclaim this among the nations:
“Prepare for war!
Wake up the mighty men,
Let all the men of war draw near,
Let them come up.
