[1]Gather yourselves togetherH7197[H8703], yea, gather togetherH7197[H8798], O nationH1471 H3700not desiredH8737
[2]Before the decreeH2706 bring forthH3205[H8800], before the dayH3117 passH5674[H8804] as the chaffH4671, beforeH3808 the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 comeH935[H8799] upon you, before the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 angerH639 comeH935 upon youH8799.
[3]SeekH1245[H8761] ye the LORDH3068, all ye meekH6035 of the earthH776, which have wroughtH6466[H8804] his judgmentH4941; seekH1245[H8761] righteousnessH6664, seekH1245[H8761] meeknessH6038: it may beH194 ye shall be hidH5641[H8735] in the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 angerH639.
[4]For GazaH5804 shall be forsakenH5800[H8803], and AshkelonH831 a desolationH8077: they shall drive outH1644[H8762] AshdodH795 at the noon dayH6672, and EkronH6138 shall be rooted upH6131.[H8735]
[5]WoeH1945 unto the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of the seaH3220 coastH2256, the nationH1471 of the CherethitesH3774! the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 is against you; O CanaanH3667, the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, I will even destroyH6[H8689] thee, that there shall be no inhabitantH3427.[H8802]
[6]And the seaH3220 coastH2256 shall be dwellingsH5116 and cottagesH3741 for shepherdsH7462[H8802], and foldsH1448 for flocksH6629.
[7]And the coastH2256 shall be for the remnantH7611 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063; they shall feedH7462[H8799] thereupon: in the housesH1004 of AshkelonH831 shall they lie downH7257[H8799] in the eveningH6153: for the LORDH3068 their GodH430 shall visitH6485[H8799] them, and turn awayH7725[H8804] their captivityH7622[H8675].[H7622]
[8]I have heardH8085[H8804] the reproachH2781 of MoabH4124, and the revilingsH1421 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, whereby they have reproachedH2778[H8765] my peopleH5971, and magnifiedH1431[H8686] themselves against their borderH1366.
[9]Therefore as I liveH2416, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Surely MoabH4124 shall be as SodomH5467, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 as GomorrahH6017, even the breedingH4476 of nettlesH2738, and saltpitsH4379[H4417], and a perpetualH5704[H5769] desolationH8077: the residueH7611 of my peopleH5971 shall spoilH962[H8799] them, and the remnantH3499 of my peopleH1471 shall possessH5157 themH8799.
[10]This shall they have for their prideH1347, because they have reproachedH2778[H8765] and magnifiedH1431[H8686] themselves against the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
[11]The LORDH3068 will be terribleH3372[H8737] unto them: for he will famishH7329[H8804] all the godsH430 of the earthH776; and men shall worshipH7812[H8691] him, every oneH376 from his placeH4725, even all the islesH339 of the heathenH1471.
[12]Ye EthiopiansH3569 also, yeH1992 shall be slainH2491 by my swordH2719.
[13]And he will stretch outH5186[H8799] his handH3027 against the northH6828, and destroyH6[H8762] AssyriaH804; and will makeH7760[H8799] NinevehH5210 a desolationH8077, and dryH6723 like a wildernessH4057.
[14]And flocksH5739 shall lie downH7257[H8804] in the midstH8432 of her, all the beastsH2416 of the nationsH1471: both the cormorantH6893 and the bitternH7090 shall lodgeH3885[H8799] in the upper lintelsH3730 of it; their voiceH6963 shall singH7891[H8787] in the windowsH2474; desolationH2721 shall be in the thresholdsH5592: for he shall uncoverH6168[H8765] the cedar workH731.
[15]This is the rejoicingH5947 cityH5892 that dweltH3427[H8802] carelesslyH983, that saidH559[H8802] in her heartH3824, I am, and there is none besideH657 me: how is she become a desolationH8047, a place for beastsH2416 to lie down inH4769! every one that passeth byH5674[H8802] her shall hissH8319[H8799], and wagH5128[H8686] his handH3027.
