ZEP 2 ©

2Bend yourselves, indeed, bend,
O nation not desired,
2Before the bringing forth of a statute,
The day has passed on as chaff,
While the heat of the anger of YHWH has not yet come in on you,
While [the] Day of the anger of YHWH has not yet come in on you,
3Seek YHWH, all you humble of the land,
Who have done His judgment,
Seek righteousness, seek humility,
It may be you are hidden in the Day of the anger of YHWH.
4For Gaza is forsaken,
And Ashkelon [is] for a desolation,
Ashdod! At noon they cast her forth,
And Ekron is rooted up.
5Behold! O inhabitants of the seacoast,
Nation of the Cherethites,
A word of YHWH [is] against you,
Canaan, land of the Philistines,
“And I have destroyed you without an inhabitant.”
6And the seacoast has been habitations,
Cottages [for] shepherds, and folds [for] a flock.
7And the coast has been for the remnant of the house of Judah,
By them they have pleasure,
In houses of Ashkelon they lie down at evening,
For their God YHWH inspects them,
And He has turned back [to] their captivity.
8“I have heard the reproach of Moab,
And the revilings of the sons of Ammon,
With which they reproached My people,
And magnify [themselves] against their border.
9Therefore, [as] I live,”
A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel,
“Surely Moab is as Sodom,
And the sons of Ammon as Gomorrah,
An overrunning of nettles and salt-pits,
And a desolation for all time. A remnant of My people seizes them,
And a remnant of My nation inherits them.”
10This [is] to them for their arrogancy,
Because they have reproached,
And they magnify [themselves] against the people of YHWH of Hosts.
11Fearful [is] YHWH against them,
For He made all gods of the land bare,
And all islanders of the nations bow themselves to Him,
Each from his place.
12“Also you, O Cushim, they [are] pierced of My sword.” 13And He stretches His hand against the north,
And destroys Asshur,
And He sets Nineveh for a desolation,
A dry land like a wilderness.
14And droves have crouched in her midst,
Every beast of the nation,
Both pelican and hedgehog lodge in her knobs,
A voice sings at the window,
“Destruction [is] at the threshold,
For the cedar-work is exposed.”
15This [is] the exulting city that is dwelling confidently,
That is saying in her heart,
“I [am], and there is none beside me,”
How she has been for a desolation,
A crouching-place for beasts,
Everyone passing by her hisses,
He shakes his hand!
