# General Information:

Yahweh continues the speech he began in [Joel 2:25](../02/24.md), promising good things for the people of Israel. Here he begins an ironic call to the nations to prepare for a war in which Yahweh will completely destroy the nations. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-irony]])

# rouse the mighty men

"make the mighty men ready for action"

# Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning knives into spears

These two phrases share similar meanings. Both of them instruct the people to turn their farming tools into weapons. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])

# plowshares

tools that are used to break up the soil in order to plant crops

# pruning knives

knives that are used to cut off small branches
