The King James Version Bible

Joel 3:5-14

  1. Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:

  2. The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.

  3. Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:

  4. And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it.

  5. Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:

  6. Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

  7. Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.

  8. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.

  9. Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.

  10. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
