Bible verse
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.
Joel 3:13 · BSB
The verses around it, from Joel 3.
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.
15 The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will no longer shine.
16 The LORD will roar from Zion and raise His voice from Jerusalem; heaven and earth will tremble. But the LORD will be a refuge for His people, a stronghold for the people of Israel.
17 Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who dwells in Zion, My holy mountain. Jerusalem will be holy, never again to be overrun by foreigners.
