¹ These are the generations of the sons of Noe: Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and unto them sons were born after the flood.

² The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Thubal, and Mosoch, and Thiras.

³ And the sons of Gomer: Ascenez and Riphath and Thogorma.

⁴ And the sons of Javan: Elisa and Tharsis, Cetthim, and Dodanim.

⁵ By these were divided the islands of the Gentiles in their lands, every one according to his tongue and their families in their nations.

⁶ And the sons of Cham: Chus, and Mesram, and Phuth, and Chanaan.

⁷ And the sons of Chus: Saba and Hevila, and Sabatha, and Regma, and Sabatacha. The sons of Regma: Saba and Dadan.

⁸ Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on earth.

⁹ And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.

¹⁰ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.

¹¹ Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.

¹² Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.

¹³ And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim, Nepthuim,

¹⁴ And Phetrusim, and Chasluim; of whom came forth the Philistines, and the Capthorim.

¹⁵ And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the Hethite,

¹⁶ And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite,

¹⁷ The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite,

¹⁸ And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.

¹⁹ And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa.

²⁰ These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.

²¹ Of Sem also, the father of all children of Heber, the elder brother of Japheth, sons were born.

²² The sons of Sem: Elam and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

²³ The sons of Aram: Us and Hull, and Gether: and Mess.

²⁴ But Arphaxad begot Sale, of whom was born Heber.

²⁵ And to Heber were born two sons: the name of the one was Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's name Jectan.

²⁶ Which Jectan begot Elmodad, and Saleph, and Asarmoth, Jare,

²⁷ And Anduram, and Uzal, and Decla,

²⁸ And Ebal, and Abimael, Saba,

²⁹ And Ophir, and Hevila, and Jobab.

³⁰ And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east.

³¹ These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations.

³² These are the families of Noe, according to their peoples and nations. By these were the nations divided on the earth after the flood.

¹ "For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

² I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment on them there for my people, and for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have divided my land,

³ and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.

⁴ "Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre, and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head.

⁵ Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my finest treasures into your temples,

⁶ and have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks, that you may remove them far from their border.

⁷ Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, and will return your repayment on your own head;

⁸ and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah, and they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a faraway nation, for Yahweh has spoken it."

⁹ Proclaim this among the nations: "Prepare for war! Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up.

¹⁰ Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, 'I am strong.'

¹¹ Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves together." Cause your mighty ones to come down there, Yahweh.

¹² "Let the nations arouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations.

¹³ Put in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the winepress is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great."

¹⁴ Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Yahweh is near, in the valley of decision.

¹⁵ The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.

¹⁶ Yahweh will roar from Zion, and thunder from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will shake; but Yahweh will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.

¹⁷ "So you will know that I am Yahweh, your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.

¹⁸ It will happen in that day, that the mountains will drop down sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters, and a fountain will come forth from the house of Yahweh, and will water the valley of Shittim.

¹⁹ Egypt will be a desolation, and Edom will be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

²⁰ But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

²¹ I will cleanse their blood, that I have not cleansed: for Yahweh dwells in Zion."
