1Yahweh says this:
2Then in the Valley of Judgment I will gather together the people of all the other nations;
3and they ◄threw marked stones/cast lots► to determine who would get each of my people.
4You people of [APO] Tyre and Sidon cities and you people of the Philistia region, I certainly have not [RHQ] done anything to harm you! So if you are trying to get revenge on me, I will very quickly get revenge on you.
5You have taken the silver and gold and other valuable things from my temple and put them in your temples.
6You dragged away the people of Jerusalem and other places in Judah, and you took them far away and sold them to people in Greece.
7But I will cause my people to want to return from the places to which you sold them, and I will do to you what you did to them.
8Then I will cause some of your sons and your daughters to be sold to the people of Judah! And some of them will be sold to the Sabea people-group, who live far away. That will certainly happen because I, Yahweh, have said it.”
9Proclaim to the people of all nations,
10Take your plows and make swords from them,
11All you people from the nations that are near Judah
12The people in the nations near Judah must get ready and come to the Valley of Judgment.
13They are like [MET] crops that are ready to be harvested;
14There will be huge crowds of people in that Valley of Judgment.
15At that time there will be no light from the sun or moon,
16From Zion Hill in Jerusalem Yahweh will shout,
17Yahweh says, “At that time, you Israeli people will know that I am Yahweh, your God.
18At that time, there will be vineyards covering [MTY] the hills,
19The armies of Egypt and Edom attacked the people of Judah
20but there will always be people living in Jerusalem and in other places in Judea.
21I, Yahweh, live on Zion Hill in Jerusalem,
