• Joel 3:1-21

  [1] "For, behold, in those days, And in that time, When I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, [2] I will gather all nations, And will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will execute judgment on them there for my people, And for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have divided my land, [3] And have cast lots for my people, And have given a boy for a prostitute, And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink. [4] "Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre, and Sidon, And all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head. [5] Because you have taken my silver and my gold, And have carried my finest treasures into your temples, [6] And have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks, That you may remove them far from their border. [7] Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, And will return your repayment on your own head; [8] And 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." [9] Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare war. Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up. [10] Beat your plowshares into swords, And your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, "I am strong." [11] Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, And gather yourselves together." Cause your mighty ones to come down there, Yahweh. [12] "Let the nations arouse themselves, And come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; For there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations. [13] Put in the sickle; For the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the winepress is full, The vats overflow, for their wickedness is great." [14] Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Yahweh is near, in the valley of decision. [15] The sun and the moon are darkened, And the stars withdraw their shining." [16] Yahweh will roar from Zion, And thunder from Jerusalem; And the heavens and the earth will shake; But Yahweh will be a refuge to his people, And a stronghold to the children of Israel. [17] "So you will know that I am Yahweh, your God, Dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, And no strangers will pass through her any more. [18] It will happen in that day, That the mountains will drop down sweet wine, The hills will flow with milk, All the brooks of Judah will flow with waters; And a fountain will come forth from the house of Yahweh, And will water the valley of Shittim. [19] Egypt will be a desolation, And Edom will be a desolate wilderness, For the violence done to the children of Judah, Because they have shed innocent blood in their land. [20] But Judah will be inhabited forever, And Jerusalem from generation to generation. [21] I will cleanse their blood, That I have not cleansed: For Yahweh dwells in Zion."

• Genesis 17:7-8

  [7] I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your seed after you. [8] I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God."

• 2 Peter 3:9
