Joel 3:1-21
1) "For, behold, in those days, And in that time, When I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
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) 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 Yahweh has spoken it."
9) Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare 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, Yahweh.
12) "Let the nations arouse themselves, And come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; For there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
13) Put in the sickle; For the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the winepress is full, The vats overflow, for their wickedness is great."
14) Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Yahweh is near, in the valley of decision.
15) The sun and the moon are darkened, And the stars withdraw their shining."
16) Yahweh will roar from Zion, And thunder from Jerusalem; And the heavens and the earth will shake; But Yahweh will be a refuge to his people, And a stronghold to the children of Israel.
17) "So you will know that I am Yahweh, your God, Dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, And no strangers will pass through her any more.
18) It will happen in that day, That the mountains will drop down sweet wine, The hills will flow with milk, All the brooks of Judah will flow with waters; And a fountain will come forth from the house of Yahweh, And will water the valley of Shittim.
19) Egypt will be a desolation, And Edom will be a desolate wilderness, For the violence done to the children of Judah, Because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20) But Judah will be inhabited forever, And Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21) I will cleanse their blood, That I have not cleansed: For Yahweh dwells in Zion."


Obadiah 1:1-21
1) The vision of Obadiah. This is what the Lord Yahweh says about Edom. We have heard news from Yahweh, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, "Arise, and let‘s rise up against her in battle.
2) Behold, I have made you small among the nations. You are greatly despised.
3) The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?‘
4) Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there, says Yahweh.
5) If thieves came to you, if robbers by night -- oh, what disaster awaits you -- wouldn‘t they only steal until they had enough? If grape pickers came to you, wouldn‘t they leave some gleaning grapes?
6) How Esau will be ransacked! How his hidden treasures are sought out!
7) All the men of your alliance have brought you on your way, even to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. Friends who eat your bread lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him.
8) "Won‘t I in that day," says Yahweh, "destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?
9) Your mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
10) For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.
11) In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were like one of them.
12) But don‘t look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and don‘t rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. Don‘t speak proudly in the day of distress.
13) Don‘t enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Don‘t look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity.
14) Don‘t stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape. Don‘t deliver up those of his who remain in the day of distress.
15) For the day of Yahweh is near all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head.
16) For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.
17) But in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess their possessions.
18) The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn among them, and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau." Indeed, Yahweh has spoken.
19) Those of the South will possess the mountain of Esau, and those of the lowland, the Philistines. They will possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria. Benjamin will possess Gilead.
20) The captives of this host of the children of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, will possess even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.
21) Saviors will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be Yahweh‘s.


Zechariah 2:1-13
1) I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2) Then said I, Where go you? He said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth of it, and what is the length of it.
3) Behold, the angel who talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
4) and said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, by reason of the multitude of men and cattle therein.
5) For I, says Yahweh, will be to her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
6) Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, says Yahweh; for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky, says Yahweh.
7) Ho Zion, escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
8) For thus says Yahweh of hosts: After glory has he sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
9) For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those who served them; and you shall know that Yahweh of Hosts has sent me.
10) Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you, says Yahweh.
11) Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Hosts has sent me to you.
12) Yahweh shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
13) Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he is waked up out of his holy habitation.


Zechariah 10:6
6) I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back; for I have mercy on them; and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Yahweh their God, and I will hear them.
