Joel 3:14–21

^14aMultitudes, multitudes in the ^bvalley of ¹decision!

For the ^cday of Yahweh is near in the valley of ²decision.

¹⁵The ^asun and moon grow dark,

And the stars lose their brightness.

¹⁶And Yahweh ^aroars from Zion

And ^bgives forth His voice from Jerusalem,

And the ^cheavens and the earth quake.

But Yahweh is a ^drefuge for His people

And a ^estrong defense to the sons of Israel.

¹⁷Then you will ^aknow that I am Yahweh your God,

Dwelling in Zion, My ^bholy mountain.

So Jerusalem will be ^choly,

And ^dstrangers will pass through it no more.

Yahweh Dwells in Zion

¹⁸And it will be in that day,

That the ^amountains will drip with ¹sweet wine,

And the hills will ^bflow with milk,

And all the ^cbrooks of Judah will flow with water;

And a ^dspring will go out from the house of Yahweh

To water the valley of ²Shittim.

¹⁹Egypt will become a desolation,

And Edom will become a desolate wilderness,

Because of the ^aviolence ¹done to the sons of Judah,

In whose land they have shed innocent blood.

²⁰But Judah will be ^ainhabited forever

And Jerusalem from generation to generation.

²¹And I will ^aavenge their blood which I have not avenged,

Indeed, Yahweh dwells in Zion.
