9 iProclaim 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 jBeat your plowshares into swords

And your 7pruning hooks into spears;

kLet the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ ”

11 Assemble and come, all you nations,

And gather together all around.

Cause lYour 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 mjudge all the surrounding nations.

13 nPut in the sickle, for othe harvest is ripe.

Come, go down;

For the pwinepress is full,

The vats overflow—

For their wickedness is great.”

14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!

For qthe day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

15 The sun and moon will grow dark,

And the stars will diminish their brightness.

16 The Lord also will roar from Zion,

And utter His voice from Jerusalem;

The heavens and earth will shake;

rBut the Lord will be a shelter for His people,

And the strength of the children of Israel.

17 “So you shall know that I am the Lord your God,

Dwelling in Zion My sholy mountain.

Then Jerusalem shall be holy,

And no aliens shall ever pass through her again.”
