Joel 3:5

Yahweh's Judgment On The Nations

⁴ And also: Tyre, Sidon, and all the territories of Philistia—what are you to Me? Are you paying Me back or trying to get even with Me? I will quickly bring retribution on your heads. ⁵ For you took My silver and gold and carried My finest treasures to your temples. ⁶ You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks to remove them far from their own territory.
