Joel 3

3
1For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace],
2I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged], and will plead with them there for my people and [for] my heritage Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
3And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
4Yes, and what have you2f to do with me, O Tzor [a rock], and Tzidon [Hunting], and all the coasts of Palestine? will you2f render me a recompense? and if you2f recompense me, swiftly [and] speedily will I return your recompense upon your own head;
5Because you2f have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
6The children also of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and the children of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] have you2f sold unto the Grecians, that you2f might remove them far from their border.
7Behold, I will raise them out of the place to which you2f have sold them, and will return your recompense upon your own head:
8And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and they shall sell them to the S’va [drunkards], to a people far off: for the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has spoken [it].
9Proclaim you2f this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
10Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I [am] strong.
11Assemble yourselves, and come, all you2f heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: there cause youi mighty ones to come down, O Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
12Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged]: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
13Put you2f in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness [is] great.
14Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] near in the valley of decision.
15The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
16The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) also shall roar out of Tziyon [parched place], and utter his voice from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [will be] the hope of his people, and the strength of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
17So shall you2f know that I [am] the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] dwelling in Tziyon [parched place], my holy mountain: then shall Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
18And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the mountains shall drop down New Wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and shall water the valley of Sheetim [The Acacias].
19Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] shall be a desolation, and Edom [Red] shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence [against] the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20But Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] shall dwell forever, and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] from generation to generation.
21For I will cleanse their blood [that] I have not cleansed: for the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) dwells in Tziyon [parched place].
