Zephaniah 2:1-3
Revised Standard Version
Judgment on Israel’s Enemies
2 Come together and hold assembly,
O shameless nation,
2 before you are driven away
like the drifting chaff,[a]
before there comes upon you
the fierce anger of the Lord,
before there comes upon you
the day of the wrath of the Lord.
3 Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,
who do his commands;
seek righteousness, seek humility;
perhaps you may be hidden
on the day of the wrath of the Lord.

2 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation that hath no [a]shame; 2 before the decree bring forth, [b]before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Jehovah come upon you, before the day of Jehovah’s anger come upon you. 3 Seek ye Jehovah, all ye meek of the earth, that have kept his ordinances; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye will be hid in the day of Jehovah’s anger.
