Joel 3:14–21

¹⁴Multitudes, multitudes are in the valley of decision, For near is the day of Jehovah in the valley of decision. ¹⁵Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining. ¹⁶And Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And shaken have the heavens and earth, And Jehovah is a refuge to his people, And a stronghold to sons of Israel. ¹⁷And ye have known that I am Jehovah your God, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain, And Jerusalem hath been holy, And strangers do not pass over into it again.

¹⁸And it hath come to pass, in that day, Drop down do the mountains juice, And the hills do flow with milk, And all streams of Judah do go with water, And a fountain from the house of Jehovah goeth forth, And hath watered the valley of Shittim. ¹⁹Egypt a desolation becometh, And Edom a desolation, a wilderness, becometh, For violence to sons of Judah, Whose innocent blood they shed in their land. ²⁰And Judah to the age doth dwell, And Jerusalem to generation and generation. ²¹And I have declared their blood innocent, That I did not declare innocent, And Jehovah is dwelling in Zion!
