Twenty-one verses close the book of Joel with a courtroom scene in the valley of Jehoshaphat, where the LORD charges the nations with selling Judah’s children into slavery and turns their war preparations into a summons to judgment.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
Behold, in those days, in that time When I will bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem
I will gather all nations and bring them down To the Valley of Jehoshaphat There I will enter into judgment with them
They have divided my land They have cast lots for my people They have traded a boy for a harlot Sold a girl for wine
What are you to me, Tyre and Sidon And all the regions of Philistia
I will turn your deeds on your own head Beat your swords into plowshares Your spears into pruning hooks
The heavens and the earth will shake The LORD will roar from Zion Utter his voice from Jerusalem The heavens and the earth shall shake
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision The sun and the moon will be darkened The stars will withdraw their shining
Whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be escape The LORD will dwell in Zion
I will make Judah dwell forever And Jerusalem for all generations
