Joel 3:3 Context
1For behold, in those dayes and in that time, when I shall bring againe the captiuitie of Iudah and Ierusalem, 2I wil also gather all nations, and will bring them downe into the valley of Iehoshaphat, and wil plead with them there for my people, and for my heritage Israel, whom they haue scattered among the nations, and parted my land. 3And they haue cast lots for my people, and haue giuen a boy for a harlot, and solde a girle for wine, that they might drinke. 4Yea and what haue ye to do with me, O Tyre and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render mee a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I returne your recompense vpon your owne head. 5Because yee haue taken my siluer and my gold, and haue caried into your temples my goodly pleasant things.
