# Chapter 2
|
|
1. Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together,
|
|
O undesirable nation,
|
|
|
|
2. Before the decree is issued,
|
|
Or the day passes like chaff,
|
|
Before the Lord's fierce anger comes upon you,
|
|
Before the day of the Lord's anger comes upon you!
|
|
|
|
3. Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth,
|
|
Who have upheld His justice.
|
|
Seek righteousness, seek humility.
|
|
It may be that you will be hidden
|
|
In the day of the Lord's anger.Judgment on Nations
|
|
|
|
4. For Gaza shall be forsaken,
|
|
And Ashkelon desolate;
|
|
They shall drive out Ashdod at noonday,
|
|
And Ekron shall be uprooted.
|
|
|
|
5. Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast,
|
|
The nation of the Cherethites!
|
|
The word of the Lord is against you,
|
|
O Canaan, land of the Philistines:
|
|
"I will destroy you;
|
|
So there shall be no inhabitant."
|
|
|
|
6. The seacoast shall be pastures,
|
|
With shelters for shepherds and folds for flocks.
|
|
|
|
7. The coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah;
|
|
They shall feed their flocks there;
|
|
In the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down at evening.
|
|
For the Lord their God will intervene for them,
|
|
And return their captives.
|
|
|
|
8. "I have heard the reproach of Moab,
|
|
And the insults of the people of Ammon,
|
|
With which they have reproached My people,
|
|
And made arrogant threats against their borders.
|
|
|
|
9. Therefore, as I live,"
|
|
Says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
|
|
"Surely Moab shall be like Sodom,
|
|
And the people of Ammon like Gomorrah--
|
|
Overrun with weeds and saltpits,
|
|
And a perpetual desolation.
|
|
The residue of My people shall plunder them,
|
|
And the remnant of My people shall possess them."
|
|
|
|
10. This they shall have for their pride,
|
|
Because they have reproached and made arrogant threats
|
|
Against the people of the Lord of hosts.
|
|
|
|
11. The Lord will be awesome to them,
|
|
For He will reduce to nothing all the gods of the earth;
|
|
People shall worship Him,
|
|
Each one from his place,
|
|
Indeed all the shores of the nations.
|
|
|
|
12. "You Ethiopians also,
|
|
You shall be slain by My sword."
|
|
|
|
13. And He will stretch out His hand against the north,
|
|
Destroy Assyria,
|
|
And make Nineveh a desolation,
|
|
As dry as the wilderness.
|
|
|
|
14. The herds shall lie down in her midst,
|
|
Every beast of the nation.
|
|
Both the pelican and the bittern
|
|
Shall lodge on the capitals of her pillars;
|
|
Their voice shall sing in the windows;
|
|
Desolation shall be at the threshold;
|
|
For He will lay bare the cedar work.
|
|
|
|
15. This is the rejoicing city
|
|
That dwelt securely,
|
|
That said in her heart,
|
|
"I am it, and there is none besides me."
|
|
How has she become a desolation,
|
|
A place for beasts to lie down!
|
|
Everyone who passes by her
|
|
Shall hiss and shake his fist.
|
