1 Gather together and assemble yourselves, shameless nation,
2 before the decision is made—the day vanishes like chaff—before the burning anger of the Lord comes against you,before the day of the Lord’s anger comes against you.
3 Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land who practice his justice;seek righteousness;seek humility.Maybe you will be hidden on the day of the Lord’s anger.
4 Gaza will certainly be abandoned;and Ashkelon destroyed.Ashdod will be driven out at noon;Ekron will be uprooted.
5 Doom, inhabitants of the seacoast,nation of Cretans.The Lord’s word is against you,Canaan, land of the Philistines.I will exterminate you, leaving no inhabitant.
