“Let the nations arouse themselves,
and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat;
for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Joel 3:12 in context
Joel 3:9–15
9
Proclaim this among the nations:
“Prepare for war!
Stir up the mighty men.
Let all the warriors draw near.
Let them come up.
10
Beat your plowshares into swords,
and your pruning hooks into spears.
Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’
11
Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations,
and gather yourselves together.”
Cause your mighty ones to come down there, LORD.
12
Selected verse
“Let the nations arouse themselves,
and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat;
for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
13
Put in the sickle;
for the harvest is ripe.
Come, tread, for the wine press is full,
the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.”
14
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!
For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15
The sun and the moon are darkened,
and the stars withdraw their shining.
