Joel 3:2-4
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
2 I will gather all the nations(A)
and take them to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.[a](B)
I will enter into judgement with them there(C)
because of my people, my inheritance Israel.
The nations have scattered the Israelites
in foreign countries(D)
and divided up my land.(E)
3 They cast lots for my people;(F)
they bartered a boy for a prostitute
and sold a girl for wine to drink.(G)
4 And also: Tyre,(H) Sidon, and all the territories of Philistia(I) – what are you to me? Are you paying me back or trying to get even with me? I will quickly bring retribution on your heads.(J)

Joel 3:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 Even upon your male and female servants,
in those days, I will pour out my spirit.
3 I will set signs in the heavens and on the earth,
blood, fire, and columns of smoke;
4 The sun will darken,
the moon turn blood-red,
Before the day of the Lord arrives,
that great and terrible day.(A)
