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.
For there I will sit to ajudge all the surrounding nations.
Come, go down;
For the cwinepress is full,
The vats overflow—
For their wickedness is great.”
For athe day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
And utter His voice from Jerusalem;
The heavens and earth will shake;
aBut the Lord will be a shelter for His people,
And the strength of the children of Israel.
Dwelling in Zion My aholy mountain.
Then Jerusalem shall be holy,
And no aliens shall ever pass through her again.”
God Blesses His People
That the mountains shall drip with new wine,
The hills shall flow with milk,
And all the brooks of Judah shall be flooded with water;
A afountain shall flow from the house of the Lord
And water the Valley of1 Acacias.
