6. Also the people of Judah and the people of JerusalemYou have sold to the Greeks,That you may remove them far from their borders.
7. “Behold, I will raise themOut of the place to which you have sold them,And will return your retaliation upon your own head.
8. I will sell your sons and your daughtersInto the hand of the people of Judah,And they will sell them to the Sabeans,To a people far off;For the Lord has spoken.”
9. 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.
10. Beat your plowshares into swordsAnd your pruning hooks into spears;Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ ”
11. Assemble and come, all you nations,And gather together all around.Cause Your mighty ones to go down there, O Lord.
12. “Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;For there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
13. Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe.Come, go down;For the winepress is full,The vats overflow—For their wickedness is great.”
