Judgments on Judah’s Enemies

Gather yourselves together, yes, (A)gather,
O nation (B)without [a]shame,
Before the decree [b]takes effect—
The day passes (C)like the chaff—
Before the (D)burning anger of the Lord comes upon you,
Before the (E)day of the Lord’s anger comes upon you.
(F)Seek the Lord,
All you (G)humble of the [c]earth
Who have carried out His [d]ordinances;
(H)Seek righteousness, seek humility.
Perhaps you will be (I)hidden
In the day of the Lord’s anger.

Seek Yahweh Before His Day of Anger

Gather yourselves together, indeed, (A)gather,
O nation (B)without [a]shame,
Before the decree [b]takes effect—
The day passes (C)like the chaff—
Before the (D)burning anger of Yahweh comes upon you,
Before the (E)day of Yahweh’s anger comes upon you.
(F)Seek Yahweh,
All you (G)humble of the [c]earth
Who have worked His justice;
(H)Seek righteousness, seek humility.
Perhaps you will be (I)hidden
In the day of Yahweh’s anger.
