Joel 3:9 in Context — Joel 3

7 Voici, je les ferai revenir du lieu où vous les avez vendus, Et je ferai retomber votre vengeance sur vos têtes.

8 Je vendrai vos fils et vos filles aux enfants de Juda, Et ils les vendront aux Sabéens, nation lointaine; Car l’Éternel a parlé.

9 Publiez ces choses parmi les nations! Préparez la guerre! Réveillez les héros! Qu’ils s’approchent, qu’ils montent, Tous les hommes de guerre!

10 De vos hoyaux forgez des épées, Et de vos serpes des lances! Que le faible dise: Je suis fort!

11 Hâtez-vous et venez, vous toutes, nations d’alentour, Et rassemblez-vous! Là, ô Éternel, fais descendre tes héros!
