Bible verse
Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, ‘I am strong!’
Joel 3:10 · BSB
The verses around it, from Joel 3.
6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, to send them far from their homeland.
7 Behold, I will rouse them from the places to which you sold them; I will return your recompense upon your heads.
8 I will sell your sons and daughters into the hands of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans—to a distant nation.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
9 Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war; rouse the mighty men; let all the men of war advance and attack!
10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, ‘I am strong!’
11 Come quickly, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves. Bring down Your mighty ones, O LORD.
12 Let the nations be roused and advance to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit down to judge all the nations on every side.
13 Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full; the wine vats overflow because their wickedness is great.
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the Day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
