2Shameless nation, come to your sensesH7197H7197H1471H37002before you are driven away like chaff blown by the wind, before the burning anger of the LORD comes upon you, before the day when he shows his fury.H2706H3205H3117H5674H4671H3808H2740H639H3068H935H3117H3068H639H9353Turn to the LORD, all you humble people of the land, who obey his commands. Do what is right, and humble yourselves before the LORD. Perhaps you will escape punishment on the day when the LORD shows his anger.H1245H3068H6035H776H6466H4941H1245H6664H1245H6038H194H5641H3117H3068H639
The Doom of the Nations around Israel
4No one will be left in the city of Gaza. Ashkelon will be deserted. The people of Ashdod will be driven out in half a day, and the people of Ekron will be driven from their city.H5804H5800H831H8077H1644H795H6672H6138H61315You Philistines are doomed, you people who live along the coast. The LORD has passed sentence on you. He will destroy you, and not one of you will be left.H1945H3427H3220H2256H1471H3774H1697H3068H3667H776H6430H6H34276Your land by the sea will become open fields with shepherd's huts and sheep pens.H3220H2256H5116H3741H7462H1448H66297The people of Judah who survive will occupy your land. They will pasture their flocks there and sleep in the houses of Ashkelon. The LORD their God will be with them and make them prosper again.H2256H7611H1004H3063H7462H1004H831H7257H6153H3068H430H6485H7725H7622H76228The LORD Almighty says, "I have heard the people of Moab and Ammon insulting and taunting my people, and boasting that they would seize their land.H8085H2781H4124H1421H1121H5983H2778H5971H1431H13669As surely as I am the living LORD, the God of Israel, I swear that Moab and Ammon are going to be destroyed like Sodom and Gomorrah. They will become a place of salt pits and everlasting ruin, overgrown with weeds. Those of my people who survive will plunder them and take their land."H2416H5002H3068H6635H430H3478H4124H5467H1121H5983H6017H4476H2738H4379H4417H5704H5769H8077H7611H5971H962H3499H1471H515710That is how the people of Moab and Ammon will be punished for their pride and arrogance and for insulting the people of the LORD Almighty.H1347H2778H1431H5971H3068H663511The LORD will terrify them. He will reduce the gods of the earth to nothing, and then every nation will worship him, each in its own land.H3068H3372H7329H430H776H7812H376H4725H339H147112The LORD will also put the people of Ethiopia to death.H3569H1992H2491H271913The LORD will use his power to destroy Assyria. He will make the city of Nineveh a deserted ruin, a waterless desert.H5186H3027H6828H6H804H7760H5210H8077H6723H405714It will be a place where flocks, herds, and animals of every kind will lie down. Owls will live among its ruins and hoot from the windows. Crows will caw on the doorsteps. The cedar wood of her buildings will be stripped away.H5739H7257H8432H2416H1471H6893H7090H3885H3730H6963H7891H2474H2721H5592H6168H73115That is what will happen to the city that is so proud of its own power and thinks it is safe. Its people think that their city is the greatest in the world. What a desolate place it will become, a place where wild animals will rest! Everyone who passes by will shrink back in horror.H5947H5892H3427H983H559H3824H657H8047H2416H4769H5674H8319H5128H3027
