AKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H7197 Gather H7197 yourselves together, yes, gather H1471 together, O nation H3700 not desired;

2 H2962 Before H2706 the decree H3205 bring H3205 forth, H3117 before the day H5674 pass H4671 as the chaff, H2962 before H3808 H2740 the fierce H639 anger H3068 of the LORD H935 come H2962 on you, before H3808 H3117 the day H3068 of the LORD’s H639 anger H935 come on you.

3 H1245 Seek H3068 you the LORD, H3605 all H6035 you meek H776 of the earth, H834 which H6466 have worked H4941 his judgment; H1245 seek H6664 righteousness, H1245 seek H6038 meekness: H194 it may H5641 be you shall be hid H3117 in the day H3068 of the LORD’s H639 anger.

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

5 H1945 Woe H3427 to the inhabitants H3220 of the sea H2256 coast, H1471 the nation H3774 of the Cherethites! H1697 the word H3068 of the LORD H5921 is against H3667 you; O Canaan, H776 the land H6430 of the Philistines, H6 I will even destroy H369 you, that there shall be no H3427 inhabitant.

6 H3220 And the sea H2256 coast H5116 shall be dwellings H3741 and cottages H7462 for shepherds, 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 H1004 thereupon: in the houses H831 of Ashkelon H7257 shall they lie H7257 down H6153 in the evening: H3068 for the LORD H430 their God H6485 shall visit H7725 them, and turn H7622 away their captivity.

8 H8085 I have heard H2781 the reproach H4124 of Moab, H1421 and the revilings H1121 of the children H5983 of Ammon, H834 whereby H2778 they have reproached H5971 my people, H1431 and magnified H5921 themselves against H1366 their border.

9 H3651 Therefore H2416 as I live, H5002 said H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts, H430 the God H3478 of Israel, H3588 Surely H4124 Moab H5467 shall be as Sodom, H1121 and the children H5983 of Ammon H6017 as Gomorrah, H4476 even the breeding H2738 of nettles, H4417 and salt pits, H5769 and a perpetual H8077 desolation: H7611 the residue H5971 of my people H962 shall spoil H3499 them, and the remnant H1471 of my people H5157 shall possess them.

10 H2063 This H1347 shall they have for their pride, H3588 because H2778 they have reproached H1431 and magnified H5921 themselves against H5971 the people H3068 of the LORD H6635 of hosts.

11 H3068 The LORD H3372 will be terrible H7329 to them: for he will famish H3605 all H430 the gods H776 of the earth; H7812 and men shall worship H376 him, every H376 one H4725 from his place, H3605 even all H339 the isles H1471 of the heathen.

12 H3569 You Ethiopians H1571 also, H2491 you shall be slain H2719 by my sword.

13 H5186 And he will stretch H3027 out his hand H5921 against H6828 the north, H6 and destroy H804 Assyria; H7760 and will make H5210 Nineveh H8077 a desolation, H6723 and dry H4057 like a wilderness.

14 H5739 And flocks H7257 shall lie H7257 down H8432 in the middle H3605 of her, all H2416 the beasts H1471 of the nations: H1571 both H6893 the cormorant H7090 and the bittern H3885 shall lodge H3730 in the upper H3730 lintels H6963 of it; their voice H7891 shall sing H2474 in the windows; H2721 desolation H5592 shall be in the thresholds; H6168 for he shall uncover H731 the cedar H731 work.

15 H2063 This H5947 is the rejoicing H5892 city H3427 that dwelled H983 carelessly, H559 that said H3824 in her heart, H657 I am, and there is none H657 beside H349 me: how H1961 is she become H8047 a desolation, H2416 a place for beasts H4769 to lie H4769 down H3605 in! every H5674 one that passes H8319 by her shall hiss, H5128 and wag H3027 his hand.
