  • A Call to Repentance

    Collect yourselves and gather together, O nation without shame,
  • Judgments on Judah’s Enemies

    Gather yourselves together, yes, gather,
    O nation without shame,
  • before the decree bring forth, [before] the day pass away as chaff, before the fierce anger of Jehovah come upon you, before the day of Jehovah's anger come upon you.
  • Before the decree takes effect —
    The day passes like the chaff —
    Before the burning anger of the LORD comes upon you,
    Before the day of the LORD’S anger comes upon you.
  • Seek Jehovah, all ye meek of the land, who have performed his ordinance; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of Jehovah's anger.
  • Seek the LORD,
    All you humble of the earth
    Who have carried out His ordinances;
    Seek righteousness, seek humility.
    Perhaps you will be hidden
    In the day of the LORD’S anger.
  • The Judgment on the Philistines

    For Gazah shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon shall be a desolation; they shall drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
  • For Gaza will be abandoned
    And Ashkelon a desolation;
    Ashdod will be driven out at noon
    And Ekron will be uprooted.
  • Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea-coast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of Jehovah is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines: I will destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant;
  • 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;
    And I will destroy you
    So that there will be no inhabitant.
  • and the sea-coast shall be cave-dwellings for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
  • So the seacoast will be pastures,
    With caves for shepherds and folds for flocks.
  • And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for Jehovah their God shall visit them, and turn again their captivity.
  • And the coast will be
    For the remnant of the house of Judah,
    They will pasture on it.
    In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening;
    For the LORD their God will care for them
    And restore their fortune.
  • The Judgment on Moab and Ammon

    I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
  • “I have heard the taunting of Moab
    And the revilings of the sons of Ammon,
    With which they have taunted My people
    And become arrogant against their territory.
  • Therefore, [as] I live, saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Moab shall certainly be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and salt-pits, and a perpetual desolation; the remnant of my people shall spoil them, and the residue of my nation shall possess them.
  • “Therefore, as I live,” declares the LORD of hosts,
    The God of Israel,
    “Surely Moab will be like Sodom
    And the sons of Ammon like Gomorrah —
    A place possessed by nettles and salt pits,
    And a perpetual desolation.
    The remnant of My people will plunder them
    And the remainder of My nation will inherit them.”
  • This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Jehovah of hosts.
  • This they will have in return for their pride, because they have taunted and become arrogant against the people of the LORD of hosts.
  • Jehovah will be terrible unto them; for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and all the isles of the nations shall worship him, every one from his place.
  • The LORD will be terrifying to them, for He will starve all the gods of the earth; and all the coastlands of the nations will bow down to Him, everyone from his own place.
  • The Judgment on Ethiopia and Assyria

    Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be the slain of my sword.
  • “You also, O Ethiopians, will be slain by My sword.”
  • And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, a place of drought like the wilderness.
  • And He will stretch out His hand against the north
    And destroy Assyria,
    And He will make Nineveh a desolation,
    Parched like the wilderness.
  • And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the crowd of beasts; both the pelican and the bittern shall lodge in the chapiters thereof; a voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be on the thresholds: for he hath laid bare the cedar work.
  • Flocks will lie down in her midst,
    All beasts which range in herds;
    Both the pelican and the hedgehog
    Will lodge in the tops of her pillars;
    Birds will sing in the window,
    Desolation will be on the threshold;
    For He has laid bare the cedar work.
  • This is the rejoicing city that dwelt in security, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none else beside me: how is she become a desolation, a couching-place for beasts! Every one that passeth by her shall hiss, shall wave his hand.
  • This is the exultant city
    Which dwells securely,
    Who says in her heart,
    “I am, and there is no one besides me.”
    How she has become a desolation,
    A resting place for beasts!
    Everyone who passes by her will hiss
    And wave his hand in contempt.
