² I will gather^(A) all nations
    and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.^[a](B)
There I will put them on trial^(C)
    for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel,
because they scattered^(D) my people among the nations
    and divided up my land.

² before the decree takes effect
    and that day passes like windblown chaff,^(A)
before the Lord’s fierce anger^(B)
    comes upon you,
before the day of the Lord’s wrath^(C)
    comes upon you.
