1 G4863 Be gathered G2532 and G4887 bound together, G3588 O G1484 [²nation G3588 G521 ¹uninstructed]!

2 G4253 before G3588 G1096 your becoming G1473 G5613 as G438 a flower G3899 passing G2250 the day; G4314 before G3588 the G1904 coming G1909 upon G1473 you G3709 the wrath G2962 of the lord; G4253 before G3588 the G1904 coming G1909 upon G1473 you G2250 the day G3709 of the wrath G2372 of the rage G2962 of the lord .

3 G2212 Seek G3588 the G2962 lord G3956 all G5011 you humble ones G1093 of the earth! G2917 [²equity G2038 ¹Work], G2532 and G1343 [²righteousness G2212 ¹seek], G2532 and G611 answer G1473 them accordingly! G3704 so that G4628.1 you should be sheltered G1722 in G2250 the day G3709 of the wrath G2962 of the lord .

4 G1360 For G* Gaza G1283 will be for plundering, G1510.8.3 G2532 and G* Ashkelon G1519 for G854 extinction, G2532 and G* Ashdod G3314 at midday G1610.1 shall be cast forth, G2532 and G* Ekron G1610 shall be rooted out.

5 G3759 Woe, G3588 the ones G2730 dwelling G3588 the G4979.1 measured out land G3588 of the G2281 sea -- G3941 sojourners G* of Cretans. G3056 The word G2962 of the lord G1909 is against G1473 you, G* O Canaan, G1093 land G246 of the Philistines; G2532 and G622 I will destroy G1473 you G1537 of G2733 your dwelling.

6 G2532 And G1510.8.3 Crete shall be G* G3542 a pasture G4168 of flocks, G2532 and G3128.1 a haven G4263 for sheep.

7 G2532 And G1510.8.3 [⁵will be G3588 ¹the G4979.1 ²measured out piece of land G3588 ³by the G2281 ⁴sea] G3588 for the G2645 remnant G3624 of the house G* of Judah; G1909 upon G1473 them G3500.1 they shall pasture G1722 in G3588 the G3624 houses G* of Ashkelon; G1166.2 in the afternoon G2647 they shall rest up G575 from G4383 in front G5207 of the sons G* of Judah; G3754 for G1980 [³shall visit G1473 ⁴them G2962 ¹ the lord G3588 G2316 ²their God]; G1473 G2532 and G654 he shall return G3588 G161 their captivity. G1473

8 G191 I heard G3680 the scorns G* of Moab, G2532 and G2866.3 the ill-treatment G5207 by the sons G* of Ammon, G1722 in G3739 which G3679 they berated G3588 G2992 my people, G1473 G2532 and G3170 magnified themselves G1909 over G3588 G3725 my borders. G1473

9 G1223 On account of G3778 this, G2198 as I live, G1473 G3004 says G2962 the lord G3588 G1411 of the forces, G3588 the G2316 God G* of Israel, G1360 that G* Moab G5613 [²as G* ³Sodom G1510.8.3 ¹will be], G2532 and G5207 the sons G* of Ammon G5613 as G* Gomorrah, G2532 and G* Damascus G1587 ceasing. G2532 And it will be G5613 as G2338.1 a heap G251 of salt G1519 into G3588 the G165 eon. G2532 And G3588 the G2645 remnants G2992 of my people G1473 G1283 shall plunder G1473 them, G2532 and G3588 the G2645 remnants G1484 of my nation G1473 G2816 shall inherit G1473 them.

10 G3778 This G1473 is to them G473 for G3588 G5196 their insolence, G1473 G1360 because G3679 they berated G2532 and G3170 magnified themselves G1909 over G2962 the lord G3588 G3841 almighty.

11 G2014 The lord shall appear G2962 G1909 against G1473 them, G2532 and G1842 he shall utterly destroy G3956 all G3588 the G2316 gods G3588 of the G1484 nations G3588 of the G1093 earth. G2532 And G4352 they shall do obeisance to G1473 him, G1538 each G1537 from G3588 G5117 his place -- G1473 G3956 all G3588 the G3520 islands G3588 of the G1484 nations.

12 G2532 And G1473 you, G* O Ethiopians, G5134.1 [² the slain G4501 ³of my broadsword G1473 G1510.2.5 ¹are].

13 G2532 And G1614 he will stretch out G3588 G5495 his hand G1473 G1909 against G1005 the north. G2532 And G622 he shall destroy G3588 the G* Assyrian, G2532 and G5087 he shall establish G3588 G* Nineveh G1519 for G854 [²extinction G504 ¹a waterless], G5613 as G2048 a wilderness.

14 G2532 And G3500.1 [²shall feed G1722 ³in G3319 ⁴ the midst G1473 ⁵of her G4168 ¹flocks], G2532 and G3956 all G3588 the G2342 wild beasts G3588 of the G1093 earth, G2532 and G5476.1 chameleons; G2532 and G2191.1 hedgehogs G1722 [²in G3588 G5336.2 ³her fretwork G1473 G2844.1 ¹shall make a bed], G2532 and G2342 wild beasts G5455 to sound out loud G1722 in G3588 G1357.2 her ditches, G1473 G2532 and G2876 crows G1722 in G3588 G4440 her gatehouses. G1473 G1360 For G2748 [² was as the cedar G3588 G389.1 ¹her height]. G1473

15 G1473 This is G3588 the G4172 [²city G3588 G5336.6 ¹heedless], G3588 the one G2730 dwelling G1909 upon G1680 hope, G3739 who G3004 says G1722 in G3588 G2588 her heart, G1473 G1473 I G1510.2.1 am, G2532 and G3756 there is none G1510.2.3 G3326 after G1473 me G2089 any longer. G4459 O how G1096 it was G1519 for G854 extinction, G3542 a pasture G2342 of wild beasts. G3956 Every one G3739 G1279 traveling G1223 through G1473 her G4947.3 shall whistle G2532 and G2795 shall shake G3588 G5495 his hands. G1473

1 H7197 Gather yourselves together [H8703] H7197 , yea, gather together [H8798] H1471 , O nation H3700 not desired [H8737] ;

2 H2706 Before the decree H3205 bring forth [H8800] H3117 , before the day H5674 pass [H8804] H4671 as the chaff H3808 , before H2740 the fierce H639 anger H3068 of the LORD H935 come [H8799] H3117 upon you, before the day H3068 of the LORD'S H639 anger H935 come [H8799] upon you.

3 H1245 Seek [H8761] H3068 ye the LORD H6035 , all ye meek H776 of the earth H6466 , which have wrought [H8804] H4941 his judgment H1245 ; seek [H8761] H6664 righteousness H1245 , seek [H8761] H6038 meekness H194 : it may be H5641 ye shall be hid [H8735] H3117 in the day H3068 of the LORD'S H639 anger.

4 H5804 For Gaza H5800 shall be forsaken [H8803] H831 , and Ashkelon H8077 a desolation H1644 : they shall drive out [H8762] H795 Ashdod H6672 at the noon day H6138 , and Ekron H6131 shall be rooted up [H8735] .

5 H1945 Woe H3427 unto the inhabitants [H8802] H3220 of the sea H2256 coast H1471 , the nation H3774 of the Cherethites H1697 ! the word H3068 of the LORD H3667 is against you; O Canaan H776 , the land H6430 of the Philistines H6 , I will even destroy [H8689] H3427 thee, that there shall be no inhabitant [H8802] .

6 H3220 And the sea H2256 coast H5116 shall be dwellings H3741 and cottages H7462 for shepherds [H8802] H1448 , and folds H6629 for flocks.

7 H2256 And the coast H7611 shall be for the remnant H1004 of the house H3063 of Judah H7462 ; they shall feed [H8799] H1004 thereupon: in the houses H831 of Ashkelon H7257 shall they lie down [H8799] H6153 in the evening H3068 : for the LORD H430 their God H6485 shall visit [H8799] H7725 them, and turn away [H8804] H7622 their captivity [H8675] H7622 .

8 H8085 I have heard [H8804] H2781 the reproach H4124 of Moab H1421 , and the revilings H1121 of the children H5983 of Ammon H2778 , whereby they have reproached [H8765] H5971 my people H1431 , and magnified [H8686] H1366 themselves against their border.

9 H2416 Therefore as I live H5002 , saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts H430 , the God H3478 of Israel H4124 , Surely Moab H5467 shall be as Sodom H1121 , and the children H5983 of Ammon H6017 as Gomorrah H4476 , even the breeding H2738 of nettles H4379 , and saltpits H4417 H5704 , and a perpetual H5769 H8077 desolation H7611 : the residue H5971 of my people H962 shall spoil [H8799] H3499 them, and the remnant H1471 of my people H5157 shall possess [H8799] them.

10 H1347 This shall they have for their pride H2778 , because they have reproached [H8765] H1431 and magnified [H8686] H5971 themselves against the people H3068 of the LORD H6635 of hosts.

11 H3068 The LORD H3372 will be terrible [H8737] H7329 unto them: for he will famish [H8804] H430 all the gods H776 of the earth H7812 ; and men shall worship [H8691] H376 him, every one H4725 from his place H339 , even all the isles H1471 of the heathen.

12 H3569 Ye Ethiopians H1992 also, ye H2491 shall be slain H2719 by my sword.

13 H5186 And he will stretch out [H8799] H3027 his hand H6828 against the north H6 , and destroy [H8762] H804 Assyria H7760 ; and will make [H8799] H5210 Nineveh H8077 a desolation H6723 , and dry H4057 like a wilderness.

14 H5739 And flocks H7257 shall lie down [H8804] H8432 in the midst H2416 of her, all the beasts H1471 of the nations H6893 : both the cormorant H7090 and the bittern H3885 shall lodge [H8799] H3730 in the upper lintels H6963 of it; their voice H7891 shall sing [H8787] H2474 in the windows H2721 ; desolation H5592 shall be in the thresholds H6168 : for he shall uncover [H8765] H731 the cedar work.

15 H5947 This is the rejoicing H5892 city H3427 that dwelt [H8802] H983 carelessly H559 , that said [H8802] H3824 in her heart H657 , I am, and there is none beside H8047 me: how is she become a desolation H2416 , a place for beasts H4769 to lie down in H5674 ! every one that passeth by [H8802] H8319 her shall hiss [H8799] H5128 , and wag [H8686] H3027 his hand.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation that hath no shame; 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. 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. ⁴ For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up. 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 destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant. ⁶ And the sea coast shall be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks. ⁷ And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed [their flocks] thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening; for the LORD their God shall visit them, and bring again their captivity. ⁸ I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border. 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, a possession of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my nation shall inherit them. ¹⁰ This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts. 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 nations. ¹² Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword. ¹³ And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like the wilderness. ¹⁴ And herds shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the pelican and the porcupine shall lodge in the chapiters thereof: [their] voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds; for he hath laid bare the cedar work. ¹⁵ This is the joyous city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none else 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.
