A Call to Repentance
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 2
|
|
1. Gather together--yes, gather together,
|
|
you shameless nation.
|
|
|
|
2. Gather before judgment begins,
|
|
before your time to repent is blown away like chaff.
|
|
Act now, before the fierce fury of the LORD falls
|
|
and the terrible day of the LORD's anger begins.
|
|
|
|
3. Seek the LORD, all who are humble,
|
|
and follow his commands.
|
|
Seek to do what is right
|
|
and to live humbly.
|
|
Perhaps even yet the LORD will protect you--
|
|
protect you from his anger on that day of destruction.Judgment against Philistia
|
|
|
|
4. Gaza and Ashkelon will be abandoned,
|
|
Ashdod and Ekron torn down.
|
|
|
|
5. And what sorrow awaits you Philistines
|
|
who live along the coast and in the land of Canaan,
|
|
for this judgment is against you, too!
|
|
The LORD will destroy you
|
|
until not one of you is left.
|
|
|
|
6. The Philistine coast will become a wilderness pasture,
|
|
a place of shepherd camps
|
|
and enclosures for sheep and goats.
|
|
|
|
7. The remnant of the tribe of Judah will pasture there.
|
|
They will rest at night in the abandoned houses in Ashkelon.
|
|
For the LORD their God will visit his people in kindness
|
|
and restore their prosperity again.Judgment against Moab and Ammon
|
|
|
|
8. "I have heard the taunts of the Moabites
|
|
and the insults of the Ammonites,
|
|
mocking my people
|
|
and invading their borders.
|
|
|
|
9. Now, as surely as I live,"
|
|
says the LORD of Heaven's Armies, the God of Israel,
|
|
"Moab and Ammon will be destroyed--
|
|
destroyed as completely as Sodom and Gomorrah.
|
|
Their land will become a place of stinging nettles,
|
|
salt pits, and eternal desolation.
|
|
The remnant of my people will plunder them
|
|
and take their land."
|
|
|
|
10. They will receive the wages of their pride,
|
|
for they have scoffed at the people of the LORD of Heaven's Armies.
|
|
|
|
11. The LORD will terrify them
|
|
as he destroys all the gods in the land.
|
|
Then nations around the world will worship the LORD,
|
|
each in their own land.Judgment against Ethiopia and Assyria
|
|
|
|
12. "You Ethiopians will also be slaughtered
|
|
by my sword," says the LORD.
|
|
|
|
13. And the LORD will strike the lands of the north with his fist,
|
|
destroying the land of Assyria.
|
|
He will make its great capital, Nineveh, a desolate wasteland,
|
|
parched like a desert.
|
|
|
|
14. The proud city will become a pasture for flocks and herds,
|
|
and all sorts of wild animals will settle there.
|
|
The desert owl and screech owl will roost on its ruined columns,
|
|
their calls echoing through the gaping windows.
|
|
Rubble will block all the doorways,
|
|
and the cedar paneling will be exposed to the weather.
|
|
|
|
15. This is the boisterous city,
|
|
once so secure.
|
|
"I am the greatest!" it boasted.
|
|
"No other city can compare with me!"
|
|
But now, look how it has become an utter ruin,
|
|
a haven for wild animals.
|
|
Everyone passing by will laugh in derision
|
|
and shake a defiant fist.
