Joel 3:9 Context
7Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither yee haue sold them, and wil returne your recompence vpon your owne head. 8And I will sell your sonnes and your daughters into the hande of the children of Iudah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people farre off, for the Lord hath spoken it. 9¶ Proclaime ye this among the gentiles: prepare warre, wake vp the mightie men, let all the men of warre draw neere, let them come vp. 10Beate your plowe shares into swords, and your pruning hookes into speares, let the weake say, I am strong. 11Assemble your selues, and come all ye heathen, and gather your selues together round about: thither cause thy mightie ones to come downe, O Lord.
