Joel 3 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition(CEVDCI)

The Lord

Will Judge the Nations

1At that time I, the Lord, will make Judah and Jerusalem prosperous again.

2Then in Judgment Valley I will bring together the nations that scattered my people Israel everywhere in the world, and I will bring charges against those nations. They divided up my land

3and gambled to see who would get my people; they sold boys and girls to pay for prostitutes and wine.

4 and you Philistines, why are you doing this? Are you trying to get even with me? I'll strike back before you know what's happened.

5You've taken my prized possessions, including my silver and gold, and carried them off to your temples.

6You have dragged the people of Judah and Jerusalem from their land and sold them to the Greeks.

7But I'll make the people of Judah determined to come home, and what happened to them will happen to you.

8I'll hand over your sons and daughters to the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, who live far away. I, the Lord, have spoken!

Judgment in Judgment Valley

9Say to the nations:

“Get ready for war!

Be eager to fight.

Line up for battle

and prepare to attack.

10

12You must come now

to Judgment Valley,

where the Lord will judge

the surrounding nations.

13

If our enemy's sins were wine,

every jar would overflow.

14Crowds fill Decision Valley.

The judgment day of the Lord

will soon be here—

15no light from the sun or moon,

and stars no longer shine.

16

19Egypt and Edom were cruel

and brutal to Judah,

without a reason.

Now their countries will become

a barren desert,

20but Judah and Jerusalem

will always have people.

21I, the Lord, live on Mount Zion.

I will punish the guilty

and defend the innocent.
