wine and oil. 25 I will compensate you for the years which the locust, the caterpillar, the<br />

fungus, and the grasshopper have eaten, my great force which I sent out against you.<br />

26 You will eat and eat, and you will be satisfied; you will praise the name of the Lord<br />

your God for the things which he performed with you as wonders. My people will not be<br />

ashamed forever. 27 You will recognize that I am in the midst of Israel, that I am the<br />

Lord your God, and that there is no one else beside me; my people will no longer be<br />

ashamed forever.<br />

Joel 3 A<br />

1 After this, it will be that I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh; your sons and<br />

your daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, and your young men<br />

will see visions. 2 On my male slaves and on my female slaves I will pour out from my<br />

Spirit in those days. 3 I will give wonders in heaven and on earth: blood, fire, and vapor<br />

of smoke. 4 The sun will turn into darkness and the moon into blood before the great<br />

and conspicuous day of the Lord comes. 5 It will be that everyone, whoever invokes the<br />

name of the Lord, will be saved, for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem the saved one will<br />

be just as the Lord said, as well as those who have had the good news preached to<br />

them, whom the Lord has called.<br />

Joel 4<br />

1 For behold, in those days and in that season, whenever I return the captivity of<br />

Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will also gather all the nations and bring them down to the<br />

valley of Jehoshaphat. I will make a decision for them there on behalf of my people and<br />

my inheritance Israel, who were dispersed among the nations. They divided my land,<br />

3 cast lots for my people, gave their boys to prostitutes, and sold their girls for wine and<br />

got drunk. 4 What do you have in common with me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all Galilee of<br />

the Philistines? Are you giving me back retribution? Or are you bearing malice against<br />

me? Quickly and speedily I will give back your retribution on your heads, 5 because you<br />

sanctuaries. 6 You sold the sons of Judah and the sons of Jerusalem to the sons of the<br />

Greeks, so that you might expel them from their borders. 7 Behold, I will raise them up<br />

out of the place where you sold them, and I will give back your retribution on your<br />

heads. 8 I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the sons of Judah,<br />

and they will sell them into captivity to a distant nation, for the Lord has spoken.<br />

9 Proclaim these things among the nations; sanctify a battle; wake up the fighters.<br />

Approach and ascend, all you military men. 10 Beat your plows into swords and your<br />

sickles into spears. Let the powerless one say, `I myself am strong.´ 11 Arrange<br />

yourselves and go in, all you surrounding nations, and gather there. Let the gentle one<br />

become a fighter. 12 Let all the nations wake up and ascend to the valley of<br />

Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations. 13 Send out the<br />

sickles, for the vintage is present. Go in, stomp, for the winepress is full. The vats will<br />
