1 Gather together, yes, gather together,O shameless nation,
2 before the decree takes effect,before the day passes like chaff,before the fierce anger of the Lord comes upon you,before the day of the Lord’s anger comes upon you.
3 Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,who carry out His judgment.Seek righteousness, seek humility.Perhaps you will be hiddenon the day of the Lord’s anger.
4 For Gaza will be forsaken,and Ashkelon a desolation;Ashdod will be driven out at noon,and Ekron will be uprooted.
