Zephaniah 2:1-3
New American Standard Bible 1995
Judgments on Judah’s Enemies
2 Gather yourselves together, yes, (A)gather,
O nation (B)without [a]shame,
2 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.
3 (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
2 Gather yourselves together, indeed, (A)gather,
O nation (B)without [a]shame,

Before the (D)burning anger of Yahweh comes upon you,
Before the (E)day of Yahweh’s anger comes upon you.
3 (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.

Judah and Jerusalem Judged Along With the Nations
Judah Summoned to Repent
2 Gather together,(A) gather yourselves together,
you shameful(B) nation,
2 before the decree takes effect
and that day passes like windblown chaff,(C)
before the Lord’s fierce anger(D)
comes upon you,
before the day of the Lord’s wrath(E)
comes upon you.
3 Seek(F) the Lord, all you humble of the land,
you who do what he commands.
Seek righteousness,(G) seek humility;(H)
perhaps you will be sheltered(I)
on the day of the Lord’s anger.
