God’s Word
For Everyday Life

“For, behold, in those days,

I will gather all nations,

and have cast lots for my people,

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

Because you have taken my silver and my gold,

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

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

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

Proclaim this amongst the nations:

Beat your ploughshares into swords,

Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations,

“Let the nations arouse themselves,

Put in the sickle;

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!

The sun and the moon are darkened,

The LORD will roar from Zion,

“So you will know that I am the LORD, your God,

It will happen in that day,

Egypt will be a desolation

But Judah will be inhabited forever,

I will cleanse their blood
