^(r)Proclaim this among the nations: ^(s)Prepare a war; ^(t)rouse the mighty men! Let all the soldiers draw near, let them come up!

^(u)Beat your plowshares into swords And your pruning hooks into spears; ^(v)Let the weak say, "I am a mighty man."

^[f](w)Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations, And gather yourselves there. Bring down, O Lord , Your ^(x)mighty ones.

Let the nations be aroused And come up to the ^(y)valley of ^[g]Jehoshaphat, For there I will sit to ^(z)judge All the surrounding nations.

^(aa)Put in the sickle, for the ^(ab)harvest is ripe. Come, ^(ac)tread, for the ^(ad)wine press is full; The vats overflow, for their ^(ae)wickedness is great.

^(af)Multitudes, multitudes in the ^(ag)valley of ^[h]decision! For the ^(ah)day of the Lord is near in the valley of ^[i]decision.

The ^(ai)sun and moon grow dark And the stars lose their brightness.

The Lord ^(aj)roars from Zion And ^(ak)utters His voice from Jerusalem, And the ^(al)heavens and the earth tremble. But the Lord is a ^(am)refuge for His people And a ^(an)stronghold to the sons of Israel.

Then you will ^(ao)know that I am the Lord your God, Dwelling in Zion, My ^(ap)holy mountain. So Jerusalem will be ^(aq)holy, And ^(ar)strangers will pass through it no more.
