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