NIVNew International Version (2011)

“In those days and at that time,

when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

I will gather all nations

and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.

There I will put them on trial

for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel,

because they scattered my people among the nations

and divided up my land.

They cast lots for my people

and traded boys for prostitutes;

they sold girls for wine to drink.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Yes, in those days and at that time,

when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

I will gather all the nations

and take them to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.

I will enter into judgment with them there

because of my people, my inheritance Israel.

The nations have scattered the Israelites

in foreign countries

and divided up my land.

They cast lots for my people;

they bartered a boy for a prostitute

and sold a girl for wine to drink.

NLTNew Living Translation

“At the time of those events,” says the Lord,

“when I restore the prosperity of Judah and Jerusalem,

I will gather the armies of the world

into the valley of Jehoshaphat.

There I will judge them

for harming my people, my special possession,

for scattering my people among the nations,

and for dividing up my land.

They threw dice to decide which of my people

would be their slaves.

They traded boys to obtain prostitutes

and sold girls for enough wine to get drunk.

For look! In those days, and in that time, when I will return the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all the nations, and I will bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will argue a case against them there concerning my people and my inheritance Israel whom they have scattered among the nations, and my land that they have divided. For my people they cast lots, and they traded the male child for the prostitute, and the female child they sold for wine and they drank it.

KJV 1900King James Version

For, behold, in those days, and in that time,

When I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

I will also gather all nations,

And will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat,

And will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel,

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

And they have cast lots for my people;

And have given a boy for an harlot,

And sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
