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.
And your1 pruning hooks into spears;
bLet the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ ”
And gather together all around.
Cause aYour mighty ones to go down there, O Lord.

Joel 3:7
I will raise them - I shall find means to bring them back from the place whither ye have sold them, and they shall retaliate upon you the injuries they have sustained. It is said that Alexander and his successors set at liberty many Jews that had been sold into Greece. And it is likely that many returned from different lands, on the publication of the edict of Cyrus. - Newcome.
