Joel 3:1-5 New King James Version (NKJV)

God Judges the Nations

3 “For behold, ^(A)in those days and at that time,
When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,
²^(B)I will also gather all nations,
And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
And I ^(C)will enter into judgment with them there
On account of My people, My heritage Israel,
Whom they have scattered among the nations;
They have also divided up My land.
³They have ^(D)cast lots for My people,
Have given a boy as payment for a harlot,
And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.

⁴“Indeed, what have you to do with Me,
^(E)O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia?
Will you ^[a]retaliate against Me?
But if you ^[b]retaliate against Me,
Swiftly and speedily I will return your ^[c]retaliation upon your own head;
⁵Because you have taken My silver and My gold,
And have carried into your temples My ^[d]prized possessions.
