Joel 3:4

Read in context

Joel 3:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning My people, My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations as they divided up My land.

3 They cast lots for My people; they bartered a boy for a prostitute and sold a girl for wine to drink.

4 Now what do you have against Me, O Tyre, Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you rendering against Me a recompense? If you retaliate against Me, I will swiftly and speedily return your recompense upon your heads.

5 For you took My silver and gold and carried off My finest treasures to your temples.

6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, to send them far from their homeland.
