It will be as when workers cut and gather grain in the Valley of Rephaim. They gather up stalks in their arms. Only a few heads of grain are left.

就必像收割的人收敛禾稼，用手割取穗子，又像人在利乏音谷拾取遗落的穗子。

像人收割成熟的禾稼，用手臂割取麦穗，又像人在利乏音谷拾取穗子；

像人收割成熟的禾稼，用手臂割取麦穗，又像人在利乏音谷拾取穗子；

国家好像一块已收割的田地，又像捡净麦穗的利乏音谷。

就像收割的人收聚庄稼，用手割取穗子；又像人在利乏音谷，拾取遗落的穗子。

但事情却要像这样成就：当收割的人聚拢禾杆、用手割取穗子，拾穗的人在利乏音谷捡拾穗子时，

就必像收割的人收斂禾稼，用手割取穗子，又像人在利乏音谷拾取遺落的穗子。

像人收割成熟的禾稼，用手臂割取麥穗，又像人在利乏音谷拾取穗子；

像人收割成熟的禾稼，用手臂割取麥穗，又像人在利乏音谷拾取穗子；

國家好像一塊已收割的田地，又像撿淨麥穗的利乏音谷。

就像收割的人收聚莊稼，用手割取穗子；又像人在利乏音谷，拾取遺落的穗子。

就像收割人收集站着的莊稼，用手割取穗子；又像人在利乏音山谷撿遺落的穗子。

但事情卻要像這樣成就：當收割的人聚攏禾杆、用手割取穗子，拾穗的人在利乏音谷撿拾穗子時，

勢如穫者斂穡、以手刈穗、如人拾遺於利乏音谷、

民人被虜、若哩乏音谷中人、刈禾懷穗、

景象如刈穫者收斂禾稼、以手割穗、又如人在利乏音谷、拾取遺穗、

It will be as when reapers harvest the standing grain, gathering the grain in their arms— as when someone gleans heads of grain in the Valley of Rephaim.

And it shall be as when the reaper gathers standing grain and his arm harvests the ears, and as when one gleans the ears of grain in the Valley of Rephaim.

The whole land will look like a grainfield after the harvesters have gathered the grain. It will be desolate, like the fields in the valley of Rephaim after the harvest.

It will be as if a reaper had gathered standing grain— his arm harvesting the heads of grain— and as if one had gleaned heads of grain in Rephaim Valley.

It will be like the reaper gathering the standing grain, As his arm harvests the ears, Or it will be like one gleaning ears of grain In the Valley of Rephaim.

It shall be as when the harvester gathers the grain, And reaps the heads with his arm; It shall be as he who gathers heads of grain In the Valley of Rephaim.

And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing grain, and his arm reapeth the ears; yea, it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.

It will be as if a reaper had gathered standing grain— his arm harvesting the heads of grain— and as if one had gleaned heads of grain in the Valley of Rephaim.

And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.

It will be as when one gathers the grain harvest, and his hand gleans the ear of grain. It will be like one gathering the ears of grain in the Valley of Rephaim.

It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in the valley of Rephaim.

Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the workers what to do. Here is what I will say to them. First collect the weeds. Tie them in bundles to be burned. Then gather the wheat. Bring it into my storeroom.’ ”

My soldiers, swing your blades. The nations are ripe for harvest. Come and stomp on them as if they were grapes. Crush them until the winepress of my anger is full. Do it until the wine spills over from the places where it is stored. The nations have committed far too many sins!”

The Lord who rules over all is the God of Israel. He says,“ The city of Babylon is like a threshing floor when cattle are walking on it. The time to destroy it will soon come.”

The Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

Then another angel came out of the temple. He called in a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud.“ Take your blade,” he said.“ Cut the grain. The time has come. The earth is ready to be harvested.”So the one sitting on the cloud swung his blade over the earth. And the earth was harvested.Another angel came out of the temple in heaven. He too had a sharp, curved blade.Still another angel came from the altar. He was in charge of the fire on the altar. He called out in a loud voice to the angel who had the sharp blade.“ Take your blade,” he said,“ and gather the bunches of grapes from the earth’s vine. Its grapes are ripe.”So the angel swung his blade over the earth. He gathered its grapes. Then he threw them into a huge winepress. The winepress stands for God’s anger.In the winepress outside the city, the grapes were stomped on. Blood flowed out of the winepress. It spread over the land for about 180 miles. It rose as high as the horses’ heads.

Once more the Philistines came up. They spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

The enemy who plants them is the devil. The harvest is judgment day. And the workers are angels.“ The weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire. That is how it will be on judgment day.The Son of Man will send out his angels. They will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin. They will also get rid of all who do evil.They will throw them into the blazing furnace. There people will weep and grind their teeth.

“ People of Judah, I have also appointed a time for you to be destroyed.“ I would like to bless my people with great success again.

Then it ran up the Valley of Ben Hinnom. It went along the south slope of Jerusalem. From there it climbed to the top of the hill west of the Hinnom Valley. The hill is also at the north end of the Valley of Rephaim.

The plants might start to grow on the day you set them out. The vines might begin to bud on the morning you plant them. But even if they do, there won’t be any harvest. Instead, there will be sickness and pain that won’t go away.

Say,“ The Lord announces,“‘ Dead bodies will be like human waste lying in the open fields. They will lie there like grain that is cut down at harvest time. No one will gather them up.’ ”

It went down to the foot of the hill that faces the Valley of Ben Hinnom. The hill is north of the Valley of Rephaim. The border continued down the Hinnom Valley. It went along the south slope of Jerusalem, where the people of Jebus live. It continued on to En Rogel.
