"Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my finest treasures into your temples,"
— Joel 3:5, World English Bible
“Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:”
“Forasmuch as ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly precious things, ”
“For you took my silver and my gold and brought my precious valuables to your own palaces.”
“For you have taken away my silver, and my gold: and my desirable, and most beautiful things you have carried into your temples.”
“For you have taken my silver and my gold, putting in the houses of your gods my beautiful and pleasing things.”
“Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:”
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,
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.
"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.
Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my finest treasures into your temples,
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.
Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, and will return your repayment on your own head;
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."
