I will gather(A) all nations
    and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.[a](B)
There I will put them on trial(C)
    for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel,
because they scattered(D) my people among the nations
    and divided up my land.
They cast lots(E) for my people
    and traded boys for prostitutes;
    they sold girls for wine(F) to drink.
