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.”

Joel 3:6
Grecians—literally, "Javanites," that is, the Ionians, a Greek colony on the coast of Asia Minor who were the first Greeks known to the Jews. The Greeks themselves, however, in their original descent came from Javan (Genesis 10:2, Genesis 10:4). Probably the germ of Greek civilization in part came through the Jewish slaves imported into Greece from Phœnicia by traffickers. Ezekiel 27:13 mentions Javan and Tyre as trading in the persons of men.
far from their border—far from Judea; so that the captive Jews were cut off from all hope of return.
