Joel 3:5 in context

Joel 3:2–8

2

I will gather all nations,

and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat;

and I will execute judgment on them there for my people,

and for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations.

They have divided my land,

3

and have cast lots for my people,

and have given a boy for a prostitute,

and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.

4

“Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre and Sidon,

and all the regions of Philistia?

Will you repay me?

And if you repay me,

I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head.

5
Selected verse

Because you have taken my silver and my gold,

and have carried my finest treasures into your temples,

6

and have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks,

that you may remove them far from their border.

7

Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them,

and will return your repayment on your own head;

8

and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah,

and they will sell them to the men of Sheba,

to a faraway nation,

for the LORD has spoken it.”
