Vietnamese 1994 (Lời Chúa Cho Mọi Người) (Translated by 1 Pastor)
* Này đây, trong những ngày ấy, cũng vào thời ấy, khi Ta phục hồi Giu-đa và Giê-ru-sa-lem, Ta sẽ tập hợp mọi nước mọi dân, đưa xuống cánh đồng Giô-sa-phát. Ở đó, Ta sẽ tranh tụng với chúng về vấn đề Ít-ra-en là dân Ta và sản nghiệp của Ta : chúng đã phân tán dân Ta giữa các dân các nước, đã chia cắt đất đai của Ta. Chúng đã đem dân Ta ra bắt thăm, đổi bé trai lấy kỹ nữ, bán bé gái mua rượu mà uống.
