Joel 3:4-8
4 Moreover, what are you to Me, O Tyre and Sidon and all the [five small] regions of Philistia? Will you pay Me back for something [I have supposedly done to you]? Even if you do pay Me back, I will swiftly and speedily return your deed [of retaliation] on your own head.(A)
5 Because you have taken My silver and My gold and have carried My precious treasures to your temples and palaces,
6 and have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the Greeks, so that you may send them far away from their territory,
7 behold, I am going to stir them up from the place where you have sold them [and return them to their land], and I shall return your action [of retaliation] on your own head.
8 Also I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they will sell them to the (a)Sabeans, to a distant nation,” for the Lord has spoken.(B)
