God Will Judge the Nations

3The Lord says,

“At that time I will restore

the prosperity of Judah and Jerusalem.

2I will gather all the nations

and bring them to the Valley of Judgement.

There I will judge them

for all they have done to my people.

They have scattered the Israelites in foreign countries

and divided up Israel, my land.

Whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
