Context Reading
7Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them,and will return your repayment on your own head; 8and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah,and they will sell them to the men of Sheba,to a faraway nation,for Yahweh has spoken it.” 9Proclaim this among the nations:“Prepare for war!Stir up the mighty men.Let all the warriors draw near.Let them come up. 10Beat your plowshares into swords,and your pruning hooks into spears.Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ 11Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations,and gather yourselves together.”Cause your mighty ones to come down there, Yahweh.
