New American Standard Bible The Nations Will Be Judged 1For behold, in those days and at that time, When I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
2I will gather all the nations
3They have also cast lots for My people, 4Moreover, what are you to Me, O Tyre, Sidon and all the regions of Philistia? Are you rendering Me a recompense? But if you do recompense Me, swiftly and speedily I will return your recompense on your head. 5Since you have taken My silver and My gold, brought My precious treasures to your temples, 6and sold the sons of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks in order to remove them far from their territory, 7behold, I am going to arouse them from the place where you have sold them, and return your recompense on your head. 8Also I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a distant nation, for the LORD has spoken.
9Proclaim this among the nations:
10Beat your plowshares into swords
11Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations,
12Let the nations be aroused
13Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe.
14Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!
15The sun and moon grow dark
16The LORD roars from Zion
17Then you will know that I am the LORD your God,
19Egypt will become a waste,
20But Judah will be inhabited forever
21And I will avenge their blood which I have not avenged, New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif. All rights reserved. For Permission to Quote Information visit http://www.lockman.org Bible Hub |
