And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
And I bwill enter into judgment with them there
On account of My people, My heritage Israel,
Whom they have scattered among the nations;
They have also divided up My land.
Have given a boy as payment for a harlot,
And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
aO Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia?
Will you1 retaliate against Me?
But if you1 retaliate against Me,
Swiftly and speedily I will return your1 retaliation upon your own head;
And have carried into your temples My1 prized possessions.
You have sold to the Greeks,
That you may remove them far from their borders.
Out of the place to which you have sold them,
And will return your1 retaliation upon your own head.
Into the hand of the people of Judah,
And they will sell them to the aSabeans,
To a people bfar off;
For the Lord has spoken.”
“Prepare for war!
Wake up the mighty men,
Let all the men of war draw near,
Let them come up.

Joel 3:4
Yea - Have I done you any wrong, which you avenge upon my people? Or do you begin to violate the laws of neighbourhood and friendship, and think to escape? Do ye think you have to do with a poor opprest people, my people, and I nothing concerned at it? Palestine - On which were towns of trade, and merchants that bought and sold these captives. A recompence - Have I or my people so dealt with you? And if - If you will deal thus, I will speedily avenge myself and my people of you.
