2 Gather yourselves together!
Yes, gather, O nation not desired,
2 before the bringing forth of the decree,
before the day passes like chaff,
before the burning of the nose of Yahweh does not come upon you,
before the day of the nose of Yahweh does not come upon you.
3 Seek Yahweh, all the humble of the earth
who do his justice.
Seek righteousness. Seek humility.
Perhaps you will be hidden on the day of the nose of Yahweh.
4 For Gaza will become abandoned,
and Ashkelon a ruin.
Ashdod, they will expel her at noon,
and Ekron will be uprooted.
5 Woe to the inhabitants of the region of the sea,
the nation of the Kerethites!
The word of Yahweh is against you,
Canaan, land of the Philistines:
“And I will destroy you until there is no inhabitant.”
6 And the region of the sea will become
pastures of meadows of shepherds and pens of flocks.
7 And the region will be to the remnant of the house of Judah.
They will shepherd upon them;
in the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down in the evening,
for Yahweh their God will visit them,
and he will restore their fortune.
8 “I have heard the reproach of Moab
and the insults of the sons of Ammon,
that they have reproached my people
and made themselves great against their border.
9 Therefore, as I am alive”—
the declaration of Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel—
“that Moab will become like Sodom,
and the sons of Ammon like Gomorrah,
a possession of the nettle and the pit of salt
and a ruin forever.
The remnant of my people will plunder them,
and the remainder of my nation will occupy them.”
10 This will be to them instead of their pride,
for they reproached and made themselves great
against the people of Yahweh of Armies.
11 Yahweh will be fearsome against them,
for he will starve all of the gods of the earth.
And all of the islands of the nations will bow down to him,
a man from his place.
12 “Also you, Cushites,
they will be pierced by my sword.”
13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north,
and he will destroy Assyria.
And he will make Nineveh a ruin,
a dry place like the desert.
14 And herds will lie down in its midst,
every animal of the nation.
Both the desert owl and the screech owl
will lodge on its columns.
A call will hoot in the window;
devastation will be in the threshold,
for the cedar-work will be bare.
15 This is the exultant city,
the one dwelling in security,
the one saying in its heart,
“I am, and besides me there is not another.”
How it has become a ruin,
a lair for the beast!
Every one passing by will hiss at it;
he will shake his fist.
