I would greatly appreciate hearing a word of knowledge on this passage from Joel 3...
4“And also, what are you to Me, O Tsor and Tsiḏon, and all the coasts of Philistia? Are you repaying Me? And if you are repaying Me, I would swiftly and speedily return your reward on your own head.
5“For you have taken My silver and My gold, and brought My treasures into your temples,
6and the people of Yehuḏah and the people of Yerushalayim you have sold to the sons of Yawan, to remove them far from their borders.
7“See, I am stirring them up out of the place to which you have sold them, and I shall return on your own head what you have done,
8and shall sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the people of Yehuḏah, and they shall sell them to the Sheḇaites, to a nation far off. For יהוה has spoken.”
