3:1 (4:1) 1 For look! In those 2 days and at that time
I will return the exiles 3 to Judah and Jerusalem. 4
3:2 Then I will gather all the nations,
and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. 5
I will enter into judgment 6 against them there
concerning my people Israel who are my inheritance, 7
whom they scattered among the nations.
They partitioned my land,
3:3 and they cast lots for my people.
They traded 8 a boy for a prostitute;
they sold a little girl for wine so they could drink. 9
3:4 Why are you doing these things to me, Tyre and Sidon? 10
Are you trying to get even with me, land of Philistia? 11
I will very quickly repay you for what you have done! 12
3:5 For you took my silver and my gold
and brought my precious valuables to your own palaces. 13
3:6 You sold Judeans and Jerusalemites to the Greeks,
removing them far from their own country. 14
3:7 Look! I am rousing them from that place to which you sold them.
I will repay you for what you have done! 15
3:8 I will sell your sons and daughters to 16 the people of Judah. 17
They will sell them to the Sabeans, 18 a nation far away.
Indeed, the Lord has spoken!
3:9 Proclaim this among the nations:
“Prepare for a holy war!
Call out the warriors!
Let all these fighting men approach and attack! 19
