Book 36 Zephaniah Chapter 002

 

002:001Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not
desired;

 

002:002Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the
chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you,
before the day of the LORD's anger come upon you.

 

002:003Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought
his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye
shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.

 

002:004For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they
shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be
rooted up.

 

002:005Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the
Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan,
the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that
there shall be no inhabitant.

 

002:006And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for
shepherds, and folds for flocks.

 

002:007And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah;
they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall
they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall
visit them, and turn away their captivity.

 

002:008I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the
children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and
magnified themselves against their border.

 

002:009Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of
Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of
Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits,
and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall
spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.

 

002:010This shall they have for their pride, because they have
reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the
LORD of hosts.

 

002:011The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all
the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one
from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.

 

002:012Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.

 

002:013And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and
destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry
like a wilderness.

 

002:014And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts
of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge
in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the
windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds; for he shall
uncover the cedar work.

 

002:015This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in
her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she
become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every
one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
