Gather yourselves together,⁷¹⁹⁷ yea, gather together,⁷¹⁹⁷ O nation¹⁴⁷¹ not desired;³⁷⁰⁰

Before the decree²⁷⁰⁶ bring forth,³²⁰⁵ before the day³¹¹⁷ pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ as the chaff,⁴⁶⁷¹ before³⁸⁰⁸ the fierce²⁷⁴⁰ anger⁶³⁹ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ come⁹³⁵ upon you, before³⁸⁰⁸ the day³¹¹⁷ of Yahweh's³⁰⁶⁸ anger⁶³⁹ come⁹³⁵ upon you.

Seek¹²⁴⁵ ye Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ all ye meek⁶⁰³⁵ of the earth,⁷⁷⁶ which have wrought⁶⁴⁶⁶ his judgment;⁴⁹⁴¹ seek¹²⁴⁵ righteousness,⁶⁶⁶⁴ seek¹²⁴⁵ meekness:⁶⁰³⁸ it may be¹⁹⁴ ye shall be hid⁵⁶⁴¹ in the day³¹¹⁷ of Yahweh's³⁰⁶⁸ anger.⁶³⁹

For Gaza⁵⁸⁰⁴ shall be forsaken,⁵⁸⁰⁰ and Ashkelon⁸³¹ a desolation:⁸⁰⁷⁷ they shall drive out¹⁶⁴⁴ Ashdod⁷⁹⁵ at the noon day,⁶⁶⁷² and Ekron⁶¹³⁸ shall be rooted up.⁶¹³¹

Woe¹⁹⁴⁵ unto the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the sea³²²⁰ coast,²²⁵⁶ the nation¹⁴⁷¹ of the Cherethites!³⁷⁷⁴ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ is against you; O Canaan,³⁶⁶⁷ the land⁷⁷⁶ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ I will even destroy⁶ thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.³⁴²⁷

And the sea³²²⁰ coast²²⁵⁶ shall be dwellings⁵¹¹⁶ and cottages³⁷⁴¹ for shepherds,⁷⁴⁶² and folds¹⁴⁴⁸ for flocks.⁶⁶²⁹

And the coast²²⁵⁶ shall be for the remnant⁷⁶¹¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah;³⁰⁶³ they shall feed⁷⁴⁶² thereupon: in the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ashkelon⁸³¹ shall they lie down⁷²⁵⁷ in the evening:⁶¹⁵³ for Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ their Elohim⁴³⁰ shall visit⁶⁴⁸⁵ them, and turn away⁷⁷²⁵ their captivity.⁷⁶²²

I have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the reproach²⁷⁸¹ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and the revilings¹⁴²¹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ whereby they have reproached²⁷⁷⁸ my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and magnified¹⁴³¹ themselves against their border.¹³⁶⁶

Therefore as I live,²⁴¹⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ the Elohim⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Surely Moab⁴¹²⁴ shall be as Sodom,⁵⁴⁶⁷ and the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ as Gomorrah,⁶⁰¹⁷ even the breeding⁴⁴⁷⁶ of nettles,²⁷³⁸ and saltpits,⁴³⁷⁹ and a perpetual⁵⁷⁰⁴ desolation:⁸⁰⁷⁷ the residue⁷⁶¹¹ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ shall spoil⁹⁶² them, and the remnant³⁴⁹⁹ of my people¹⁴⁷¹ shall possess⁵¹⁵⁷ them.

This shall they have for their pride,¹³⁴⁷ because they have reproached²⁷⁷⁸ and magnified¹⁴³¹ themselves against the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts.⁶⁶³⁵

Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ will be terrible³³⁷² unto them: for he will famish⁷³²⁹ all the mighty ones⁴³⁰ of the earth;⁷⁷⁶ and men shall worship⁷⁸¹² him, every one³⁷⁶ from his place,⁴⁷²⁵ even all the isles³³⁹ of the heathen.¹⁴⁷¹

Ye Ethiopians³⁵⁶⁹ also, ye¹⁹⁹² shall be slain²⁴⁹¹ by my sword.²⁷¹⁹

And he will stretch out⁵¹⁸⁶ his hand³⁰²⁷ against the north,⁶⁸²⁸ and destroy⁶ Assyria;⁸⁰⁴ and will make⁷⁷⁶⁰ Nineveh⁵²¹⁰ a desolation,⁸⁰⁷⁷ and dry⁶⁷²³ like a wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

And flocks⁵⁷³⁹ shall lie down⁷²⁵⁷ in the midst⁸⁴³² of her, all the beasts²⁴¹⁶ of the nations:¹⁴⁷¹ both the cormorant⁶⁸⁹³ and the bittern⁷⁰⁹⁰ shall lodge³⁸⁸⁵ in the upper lintels³⁷³⁰ of it; their voice⁶⁹⁶³ shall sing⁷⁸⁹¹ in the windows;²⁴⁷⁴ desolation²⁷²¹ shall be in the thresholds:⁵⁵⁹² for he shall uncover⁶¹⁶⁸ the cedar work.⁷³¹

This is the rejoicing⁵⁹⁴⁷ city⁵⁸⁹² that dwelt³⁴²⁷ carelessly,⁹⁸³ that said⁵⁵⁹ in her heart,³⁸²⁴ I am, and there is none⁶⁵⁷ beside me:⁵⁷⁵⁰ how is she become a desolation,⁸⁰⁴⁷ a place for beasts²⁴¹⁶ to lie down in!⁴⁷⁶⁹ every one that passeth by⁵⁶⁷⁴ her shall hiss,⁸³¹⁹ and wag⁵¹²⁸ his hand.³⁰²⁷
