^(A)Proclaim this among the nations:
^(B)Prepare a war; ^(C)rouse the mighty men!
Let all the soldiers draw near, let them come up!

^{Tools

^(D)Beat your plowshares into swords
And your pruning hooks into spears;
^(E)Let the weak say, “I am a mighty man.”

^{Tools

^(a)^(F)Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations,
And gather yourselves there.
Bring down, O Lord, Your ^(G)mighty ones.

^{Tools
12}

Let the nations be aroused
And come up to the ^(H)valley of ^(b)Jehoshaphat,
For there I will sit to ^(I)judge
All the surrounding nations.

^{Tools

^(J)Put in the sickle, for the ^(K)harvest is ripe.
Come, ^(L)tread, for the ^(M)wine press is full;
The vats overflow, for their ^(N)wickedness is great.

^{Tools

^(O)Multitudes, multitudes in the ^(P)valley of ^(c)decision!
For the ^(Q)day of the Lord is near in the valley of ^(d)decision.
