Yahweh continues the speech he began in [Joel 2:25](../02/25.md), promising good things for the people of Israel.
|
|
|
|
# Hurry and come ... together there
|
|
|
|
These words continue the ironic call to battle that begins in [Joel 3:9](../03/09.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-irony]])

# gather yourselves together
|
|

The purpose of the gathering is for battle. This can be stated explicitly. Alternate translation: "gather yourselves together for battle" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# Yahweh, bring down your mighty warriors

|
|

Possible meanings are 1) Joel is telling the people of Judah that this is what they are to "proclaim among the nations" ([Joel 3:9](../03/09.md)) or 2) Joel interrupts the words of Yahweh and prays a short prayer.
