1 Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together,O undesirable nation,
2 Before the decree is issued,Or the day passes like chaff,Before the Lord’s fierce anger comes upon you,Before the day of the Lord’s anger comes upon you!
3 Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth,Who have upheld His justice.Seek righteousness, seek humility.It may be that you will be hiddenIn the day of the Lord’s anger.
4 For Gaza shall be forsaken,And Ashkelon desolate;They shall drive out Ashdod at noonday,And Ekron shall be uprooted.
