Joel 3:9–10

Proclaim this among the nations:

Prepare for war!

Rouse the warriors!

Let all the fighting men draw near and attack.

Beat your plowshares into swords

and your pruning hooks into spears.

Let the weakling say,

“I am strong!”

Proclaim this among the nations:

Prepare for holy war;

rouse the warriors;

let all the men of war advance and attack!

Beat your plows into swords

and your pruning knives into spears.

Let even the weakling say, “I am a warrior.”

Say to the nations far and wide:

“Get ready for war!

Call out your best warriors.

Let all your fighting men advance for the attack.

Hammer your plowshares into swords

and your pruning hooks into spears.

Train even your weaklings to be warriors.

Proclaim this among the nations:

Prepare for war!

Stir up the mighty warriors;

let them approach and come up;

let all the men of war approach.

Beat your cutting tools of iron into swords

and your pruning hooks into spears;

let the weakling say, ‘I am a mighty warrior!’

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:

Beat your plowshares into swords,

And your pruninghooks into spears:

Let the weak say, I am strong.
