Zephaniah 2:1-7
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.

4 For (J)Gaza will be abandoned
And Ashkelon a desolation;
(K)Ashdod will be driven out at noon
And (L)Ekron will be uprooted.
5 Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast,
The nation of the [e](M)Cherethites!
The word of the Lord is (N)against you,
O (O)Canaan, land of the Philistines;
And I will (P)destroy you
So that there will be (Q)no inhabitant.
6 So the seacoast will be (R)pastures,
With [f]caves for shepherds and folds for flocks.
7 And the coast will be
For the (S)remnant of the house of Judah,
They will (T)pasture on it.
In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening;
For the Lord their God will (U)care for them
And (V)restore their fortune.
