Punishment for Judah’s Enemies

“In those days and at that time,
    I will give Judah and Jerusalem back their riches.
I will also gather all the nations together.
    I will bring them down into the Valley Where the Lord Judges.
    And there I will judge them.
Those nations scattered my own people, Israel.
    They forced my people to live in other nations.
    They divided up my land.

    and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.[b](D)
There I will put them on trial(E)
    for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel,
because they scattered(F) my people among the nations
    and divided up my land.
