2So get yourselves together. Shape up! You're a nation without a clue about what it wants.H7197H7197H1471H37002Do it before you're blown away like leaves in a windstorm, Before GOD's Judgment-anger sweeps down on you, Before GOD's Judgment Day wrath descends with full force.H2706H3205H3117H5674H4671H3808H2740H639H3068H935H3117H3068H639H9353Seek GOD, all you quietly disciplined people who live by GOD's justice. Seek GOD's right ways. Seek a quiet and disciplined life. Perhaps you'll be hidden on the Day of GOD's anger.H1245H3068H6035H776H6466H4941H1245H6664H1245H6038H194H5641H3117H3068H639
All Earth-Made Gods Will Blow Away
4Gaza is scheduled for demolition, Ashdod will be cleaned out by high noon, Ekron pulled out by the roots.H5804H5800H831H8077H1644H795H6672H6138H61315Doom to the seaside people, the seafaring people from Crete! The Word of GOD is bad news for you who settled Canaan, the Philistine country: "You're slated for destruction— no survivors!"H1945H3427H3220H2256H1471H3774H1697H3068H3667H776H6430H6H34276The lands of the seafarers will become pastureland, A country for shepherds and sheep.H3220H2256H5116H3741H7462H1448H66297What's left of the family of Judah will get it. Day after day they'll pasture by the sea, and go home in the evening to Ashkelon to sleep. Their very own GOD will look out for them. He'll make things as good as before.H2256H7611H1004H3063H7462H1004H831H7257H6153H3068H430H6485H7725H7622H76228"I've heard the crude taunts of Moab, the mockeries flung by Ammon, The cruel talk they've used to put down my people, their self-important strutting along Israel's borders.H8085H2781H4124H1421H1121H5983H2778H5971H1431H13669Therefore, as sure as I am the living God," says GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies, Israel's personal God, "Moab will become a ruin like Sodom, Ammon a ghost town like Gomorrah, One a field of rocks, the other a sterile salt flat, a moonscape forever. What's left of my people will finish them off, will pick them clean and take over.H2416H5002H3068H6635H430H3478H4124H5467H1121H5983H6017H4476H2738H4379H4417H5704H5769H8077H7611H5971H962H3499H1471H515710This is what they get for their bloated pride, their taunts and mockeries of the people of GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies.H1347H2778H1431H5971H3068H663511GOD will be seen as truly terrible—a Holy Terror. All earth-made gods will shrivel up and blow away; And everyone, wherever they are, far or near, will fall to the ground and worship him.H3068H3372H7329H430H776H7812H376H4725H339H147112Also you Ethiopians, you too will die—I'll see to it."H3569H1992H2491H271913Then GOD will reach into the north and destroy Assyria. He will waste Nineveh, leave her dry and treeless as a desert.H5186H3027H6828H6H804H7760H5210H8077H6723H405714The ghost town of a city, the haunt of wild animals, Nineveh will be home to raccoons and coyotes— they'll bed down in its ruins. Owls will hoot in the windows, ravens will croak in the doorways— all that fancy woodwork now a perch for birds.H5739H7257H8432H2416H1471H6893H7090H3885H3730H6963H7891H2474H2721H5592H6168H73115Can this be the famous Fun City that had it made, That boasted, "I'm the Number-One City! I'm King of the Mountain!" So why is the place deserted, a lair for wild animals? Passersby hardly give it a look; they dismiss it with a gesture.H5947H5892H3427H983H559H3824H657H8047H2416H4769H5674H8319H5128H3027
