Zephaniah 2 1 Gather yourselves together , yea, gather together , O nation not desired ; Copy 2 Before 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. Copy 3 Seek 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 . Copy 4 For Gaza shall be forsaken , and Ashkelon a desolation : they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day , and Ekron shall be rooted up . Copy 5 Woe 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 . Copy 6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds , and folds for flocks . Copy 7 And 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 . Copy 8 I 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 . Copy 9 Therefore 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. Copy 10 This shall they have for their pride , because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the Lord of hosts . Copy 11 The 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 . Copy 12 Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword . Copy 13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north , and destroy Assyria ; and will make Nineveh a desolation , and dry like a wilderness . Copy 14 And 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 . Copy 15 This 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 .
