Joel 3:12-17 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

¹²Let the nations be roused

and advance to the Valley of Jehoshaphat,

for there I will sit down

to judge all the nations on every side.

¹³Swing the sickle,

for the harvest is ripe.

Come, trample the grapes,

for the winepress is full;

the wine vats overflow

because 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 moon will grow dark,

and the stars will no longer shine.

¹⁶The LORD will roar from Zion

and raise His voice from Jerusalem;

heaven and earth will tremble.

But the LORD will be a refuge for His people,

a stronghold for the people of Israel.

¹⁷Then you will know that I am the LORD your God,

who dwells in Zion, My holy mountain.

Jerusalem will be holy,

never again to be overrun by foreigners.

— Joel 3:12-17
