Judgment on Judah’s Enemies

2Gather together, yes, gather, O shameless nation,H7197H7197H1471H3700 2before the decree takes effect—before the day passes away like chaff— before there comes upon you the burning anger of the LORD, before there comes upon you the day of the anger of the LORD.H2706H3205H3117H5674H4671H3808H2740H639H3068H935H3117H3068H639H935 3Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the LORD.H1245H3068H6035H776H6466H4941H1245H6664H1245H6038H194H5641H3117H3068H639 4For Gaza shall be deserted, and Ashkelon shall become a desolation; Ashdod's people shall be driven out at noon, and Ekron shall be uprooted.H5804H5800H831H8077H1644H795H6672H6138H6131 5Woe to you inhabitants of the seacoast, you nation of the Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; and I will destroy you until no inhabitant is left.H1945H3427H3220H2256H1471H3774H1697H3068H3667H776H6430H6H3427 6And you, O seacoast, shall be pastures, with meadows for shepherds and folds for flocks.H3220H2256H5116H3741H7462H1448H6629 7The seacoast shall become the possession of the remnant of the house of Judah, on which they shall graze, and in the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down at evening. For the LORD their God will be mindful of them and restore their fortunes.H2256H7611H1004H3063H7462H1004H831H7257H6153H3068H430H6485H7725H7622H7622 8"I have heard the taunts of Moab and the revilings of the Ammonites, how they have taunted my people and made boasts against their territory.H8085H2781H4124H1421H1121H5983H2778H5971H1431H1366 9Therefore, as I live," declares the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Moab shall become like Sodom, and the Ammonites like Gomorrah, a land possessed by nettles and salt pits, and a waste forever. The remnant of my people shall plunder them, and the survivors of my nation shall possess them."H2416H5002H3068H6635H430H3478H4124H5467H1121H5983H6017H4476H2738H4379H4417H5704H5769H8077H7611H5971H962H3499H1471H5157 10This shall be their lot in return for their pride, because they taunted and boasted against the people of the LORD of hosts.H1347H2778H1431H5971H3068H6635 11The LORD will be awesome against them; for he will famish all the gods of the earth, and to him shall bow down, each in its place, all the lands of the nations.H3068H3372H7329H430H776H7812H376H4725H339H1471 12You also, O Cushites, shall be slain by my sword.H3569H1992H2491H2719 13And he will stretch out his hand against the north and destroy Assyria, and he will make Nineveh a desolation, a dry waste like the desert.H5186H3027H6828H6H804H7760H5210H8077H6723H4057 14Herds shall lie down in her midst, all kinds of beasts; even the owl and the hedgehog shall lodge in her capitals; a voice shall hoot in the window; devastation will be on the threshold; for her cedar work will be laid bare.H5739H7257H8432H2416H1471H6893H7090H3885H3730H6963H7891H2474H2721H5592H6168H731 15This is the exultant city that lived securely, that said in her heart, "I am, and there is no one else." What a desolation she has become, a lair for wild beasts! Everyone who passes by her hisses and shakes his fist.H5947H5892H3427H983H559H3824H657H8047H2416H4769H5674H8319H5128H3027
