1 Gather yourselves together, yes, gather, O nation without shame,
2 Before the decree takes effect- The day passes like the chaff- Before the burning 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 earth Who have carried out His ordinances; Seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will be hidden In the day of the Lord's anger.
4 For Gaza will be abandoned And Ashkelon a desolation; Ashdod will be driven out at noon And Ekron will be uprooted.
