Gather yourselves together,
yea, gather together,
O nation
not desired;
Before the decree
bring forth,
before the day
pass
as the chaff,
before
the fierce
anger
of the LORD
come
upon you, before the day
of the LORD'S
anger
come
upon you.
Seek
ye the LORD,
all ye meek
of the earth,
which have wrought
his judgment;
seek
righteousness,
seek
meekness:
it may be
ye shall be hid
in the day
of the LORD'S
anger.

For Gaza
shall be forsaken,
and Ashkelon
a desolation:
they shall drive out
Ashdod
at the noon day,
and Ekron
shall be rooted up.
Woe
unto the inhabitants
of the sea
coast,
the nation
of the Cherethites!
the word
of the LORD
is against you; O Canaan,
the land
of the Philistines,
I will even destroy
thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.

And the sea
coast
shall be dwellings
and cottages
for shepherds,
and folds
for flocks.
And the coast
shall be for the remnant
of the house
of Judah;
they shall feed
thereupon: in the houses
of Ashkelon
shall they lie down
in the evening:
for the LORD
their God
shall visit
them, and turn away
their captivity.

I have heard
the reproach
of Moab,
and the revilings
of the children
of Ammon,
whereby they have reproached
my people,
and magnified
themselves against their border.
Therefore as I live,
saith
the LORD
of hosts,
the God
of Israel,
Surely Moab
shall be as Sodom,
and the children
of Ammon
as Gomorrah,
even the breeding
of nettles,
and saltpits,
and a perpetual
desolation:
the residue
of my people
shall spoil
them, and the remnant
of my people
shall possess
them.

This shall they have for their pride,
because they have reproached
and magnified
themselves against the people
of the LORD
of hosts.
The LORD
will be terrible
unto them: for he will famish
all the gods
of the earth;
and men shall worship
him, every one
from his place,
even all the isles
of the heathen.
Ye Ethiopians
also, ye
shall be slain
by my sword.
And he will stretch out
his hand
against the north,
and destroy
Assyria;
and will make
Nineveh
a desolation,
and dry
like a wilderness.
And flocks
shall lie down
in the midst
of her, all the beasts
of the nations:
both the cormorant
and the bittern
shall lodge
in the upper lintels
of it; their voice
shall sing
in the windows;
desolation
shall be in the thresholds:
for he shall uncover
the cedar work.

This is the rejoicing
city
that dwelt
carelessly,
that said
in her heart,
I am, and there is none beside
me: how is she become a desolation,
a place for beasts
to lie down in!
every one that passeth by
her shall hiss,
and wag
his hand.
