chapter 2
1
Assemble
yourselves together, be gathered together, O nation not worthy to be loved:
2 Before the decree bring forth the day as dust passing
away, before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the
Lord's indignation come upon you.
3 Seek the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, you that
have wrought his judgment: seek the just, seek the meek: if by any means you
may be hid in the day of the Lord's indignation.
4 For Gaza shall be destroyed, and Ascalon shall be a
desert, they shall cast out Azotus at noonday, and Accaron shall be rooted up.
5 Woe to you that inhabit the sea coast, O nation of
reprobates: the word of the Lord upon you, O Chanaan, the land of the
Philistines, and I will destroy thee, so that there shall not be an inhabitant.
6 And the sea coast shall be the resting place of
shepherds, and folds for cattle:
7 And it shall be the portion of him that shall remain
of the house of Juda, there they shall feed: in the houses of Ascalon they
shall rest in the evening: because the Lord their God will visit them, and
bring back their captivity.
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the
blasphemies of the children of Ammon, with which they reproached my people, and
have magnified themselves upon their borders.
9 Therefore as I live, saith the Lord of hosts the God
of Israel, Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrha, the
dryness of thorns, and heaps of salt, and a desert even for ever: the remnant
of my people shall make a spoil of them, and the residue of my nation shall
possess them.
10 This shall befall them for their pride: because they
have blasphemed, and have been magnified against the people of the Lord of
hosts.
11 The Lord shall be terrible upon them, and shall
consume all the gods of the earth: and they shall adore him every man from his
own place, all the islands of the Gentiles.
12 You Ethiopians, also shall be slain with my sword.
13 And he will stretch out his hand upon the north, and
will destroy Assyria: and he will make the beautiful city a wilderness, and as
a place not passable, and as a desert.
14 And flocks shall lie down in the midst thereof, all
the beasts of the nations: and the bittern and the urchin shall lodge in the
threshold thereof: the voice of the singing bird in the window, the raven on
the upper post, for I will consume her strength.
15 This is the glorious city that dwelt in security:
that said in her heart: I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a
desert, a place for beasts to lie down in? every one that passeth by her, shall
hiss, and wag his hand.
