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.
