CHAP. III.
1 Gods iudgements against the enemies of his people. 9 God will be knowen in his iudgement. 18 His blessing vpon the Church.
5 Because yee haue taken my siluer and my gold, and haue caried into your temples my goodly pleasant things.5
6 The children also of Iudah and the children of Ierusalem haue ye sold vnto the Grecians, that yee might remoue them farre from their border.6
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.9
10 Beate your plowe shares into swords, and your pruning hookes into speares, let the weake say, I am strong.10
11 Assemble your selues, and come all ye heathen, and gather your selues together round about: thither cause thy mightie ones to come downe, O Lord.11
13 Put ye in the sickle, for the haruest is ripe, come, get you downe, for the presse is full, the fats ouerflowe, for the wickednesse is great.13
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for þe day of the Lord is neere in the valley of decision.14
15 The Sunne and the Moone shall be darkened, and the starres shall withdraw their shining.15
16 The Lord also shal roare out of Zion, and vtter his voice from Ierusalem, and the heauens and the earth shall shake, but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.16
17 So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy Mountaine: then shall Ierusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers passe through her any more.17
18 ¶ And it shall come to passe in that day, that the mountaines shal drop downe new wine, and the hils shall flow with milke, and all the riuers of Iudah shall flow with waters, and a fountaine shall come forth of the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.18
20 But Iudah shall dwell for euer, and Ierusalem from generation to generation.20
21 For I wil cleanse their blood, that I haue not cleansed, for the Lord dwelleth in Zion.21
