Zephaniah 2:3 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 Come together and hold assembly, O shameless nation,
2 before you are driven away like the drifting chaff, before there comes upon you the fierce anger of the LORD, before there comes upon you the day of the wrath of the LORD.
3 Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who do his commands; seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the wrath of the LORD.
4 For Gaza shall be deserted, and Ashkelon shall become a desolation; Ashdod's people shall be driven out at noon, and Ekron shall be uprooted.
5 Woe to you inhabitants of the seacoast, you nation of the Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; and I will destroy you till no inhabitant is left.
6 And you, O seacoast, shall be pastures, meadows for shepherds and folds for flocks.
7 The seacoast shall become the possession of the remnant of the house of Judah, on which they shall pasture, and in the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down at evening. For the LORD their God will be mindful of them and restore their fortunes.
8 "I have heard the taunts of Moab and the revilings of the Ammonites, how they have taunted my people and made boasts against their territory.
9 Therefore, as I live," says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Moab shall become like Sodom, and the Ammonites like Gomorrah, a land possessed by nettles and salt pits, and a waste for ever. The remnant of my people shall plunder them, and the survivors of my nation shall possess them."
10 This shall be their lot in return for their pride, because they scoffed and boasted against the people of the LORD of hosts.
11 The LORD will be terrible against them; yea, he will famish all the gods of the earth, and to him shall bow down, each in its place, all the lands of the nations.
12 You also, O Ethiopians, shall be slain by my sword.
13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and he will make Nineveh a desolation, a dry waste like the desert.
14 Herds shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the field; the vulture and the hedgehog shall lodge in her capitals; the owl shall hoot in the window, the raven croak on the threshold; for her cedar work will be laid bare.
15 This is the exultant city that dwelt secure, that said to herself, "I am and there is none else." What a desolation she has become, a lair for wild beasts! Every one who passes by her hisses and shakes his fist.
1 Gather yourselves together, H7197 yea , gather together, H7197 O nation H1471 not H3808 desired; H3700
2 Before H2962 the decree H2706 bring forth, H3205 before the day H3117 pass H5674 as the chaff, H4671 before H2962 the fierce H2740 anger H639 of the LORD H3068 come H935 upon H5921 you, before H2962 the day H3117 of the LORD's H3068 anger H639 come H935 upon H5921 you.
3 Seek H1245 ye H853 the LORD, H3068 all H3605 ye meek H6035 of the earth, H776 which H834 have wrought H6466 his judgment; H4941 seek H1245 righteousness, H6664 seek H1245 meekness: H6038 it may be H194 ye shall be hid H5641 in the day H3117 of the LORD's H3068 anger. H639

5 Woe H1945 unto the inhabitants H3427 of the sea H3220 coast, H2256 the nation H1471 of the Cherethites H3774 ! the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 is against H5921 you ; O Canaan, H3667 the land H776 of the Philistines, H6430 I will even destroy H6 thee , that there shall be no H4480 H369 inhabitant.
