Part 2 of 3 · Complete, unabridged verses · No AI retelling

10Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’↗

11Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves together.” Cause your mighty ones to come down there, LORD.↗

12“Let the nations arouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.↗

13Put in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the wine press is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.”↗

14Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.↗

15The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.↗

16The LORD will roar from Zion, and thunder from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will shake; but the LORD will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.↗

17“So you will know that I am the LORD, your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.↗

18It 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 flow out from the LORD’s house, and will water the valley of Shittim.↗
