9. Announce this to the nations:Proclaim a holy war!Alert the warriors!Let all the soldiersreport and march!
10. Beat your plowshares into swords,and your pruning knives into spears;let the weakling boast, “I am a warrior!”
11. Hurry and come, all you neighboring peoples,assemble there!Bring down, Lord, your warriors!
12. Let the nations rouse themselves and come upto the Valley of Jehoshaphat;For there I will sit in judgmentupon all the neighboring nations.
13. Wield the sickle,for the harvest is ripe;Come and tread,for the wine press is full;The vats overflow,for their crimes are numerous.
14. Crowds upon crowdsin the Valley of Decision;For near is the day of the Lordin the Valley of Decision.
15. Sun and moon are darkened,and the stars withhold their brightness,
