Seek Yahweh Before His Day of Anger
Gather yourselves together, indeed, agather,O nation bwithout 1shame,2 Before the decree 1takes effect—The day passes alike the chaff—Before the bburning anger of Yahweh comes upon you,Before the cday of Yahweh’s anger comes upon you.3 aSeek Yahweh,All you bhumble of the 1earthWho have worked His justice;cSeek righteousness, seek humility.Perhaps you will be dhiddenIn the day of Yahweh’s anger.
4 For aGaza will be 1forsakenAnd Ashkelon a desolation;bAshdod will be driven out at noon,And cEkron will be uprooted.5 Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast,The nation of the 1aCherethites!The word of Yahweh is bagainst you,O cCanaan, land of the Philistines;And I will dmake you perishSo that there will be eno inhabitant.6 So the seacoast will be apastures,With 1caves for shepherds and folds for flocks.7 And the coast will beFor the aremnant of the house of Judah;They will bfeed upon it.In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening;For Yahweh their God will ccare for themAnd drestore their fortune.
8 “I have heard the areproach of MoabAnd the brevilings of the sons of Ammon,With which they have reproached My peopleAnd cmagnified themselves against their territory.9 “Therefore, as I live,” declares Yahweh of hosts,The God of Israel,“Surely aMoab will be like bSodomAnd the sons of cAmmon like dGomorrah—A place possessed by nettles and salt pits,And a perpetual desolation.The remnant of My people will eplunder them,And the remainder of My nation will inherit them.”

10 This they will have in return for their apride because they have breproached and magnified themselves against the people of Yahweh of hosts. 11 Yahweh will be afearsome to them, for He will 1starve ball the gods of the earth; and all the ccoastlands of the nations will dbow down to Him, everyone from his own place.

12 “You also, O aEthiopians, will be slain by My sword.”13 And He will astretch out His hand against the northAnd cause bAssyria to perish,And He will make cNineveh a desolation,Parched like the wilderness.14 Flocks will lie down in her midst,All the beasts of the nation;Both the 1apelican and the hedgehogWill lodge in 2the tops of her pillars;Their voice will sing in the window,Ruin will be on the threshold;For He has laid bare the cedar work.15 This is the aexultant cityWhich binhabits securely,Who says in her heart,“cI am, and there is no one besides me.”How she has become an object of dhorror,A resting place for beasts!eEveryone who passes by her will hissAnd wave his hand in contempt.
