CAP. II.
1 Cum &yogh;e togydre, be &yogh;e gadrid, &yogh;e folk
not worthi to be louyd,
2 byfore that
comaundyng brenge forth as dust passynge
day; byfore that wrath of wodenesse
of the Lord cum, byfore that the
day of his indignacioun cume vpon &yogh;ou.
3 Alle mylde, or pacient, men of erthe,
seeke &yogh;e the Lord, whiche han wrou&yogh;t
the dom of hym; seke &yogh;e the iust, seeke
&yogh;e the mylde, &yogh;if eny maner &yogh;e be hid in
the day of woodnesse of the Lord.
4 For
Gaza shal be distruyed, and Aschalon in
to desert; thei shuln caste out Azotus
in mydday, and Ackaron shal be drawen
out by the rote.
5 Woo! &yogh;e that dwellen
the litil part of the se, a folk of lost men.
The word of the Lord vpon &yogh;ou, Canaan,
the lond of Fylisteyns, and Y shal distruye
thee, so that an yndweller be not;
6 and the litil part of the se shal be reste
of sheeperdis, and fooldis of sheep.
7 And
it shal be a litil part of hym, that shal
abide of the hous of Juda, there thei
shuln be fed in the housis of Aschalon;
at euyn thei shuln reste, for the Lord
God of hem visitide hem, and shal turne
awey the caityftee of hem.
8 Y herde the
shenshipe of Moab, and blasfemyes of
the sonys of Amon, whiche thei dispisiden
my peple, and thei ben magnyfied
vpon the termes of hem.
9 Therfore Y
lyue, saith the Lord of oostis, God of
Yrael, for Moab shal be as Sodom, and
the sonys of Amon as Gomor; drienesse
of thornes, and hepis of salt, and desert,
til in to with out eende. The relikis of
my peple shuln rauyshe hem, the residues
of my folc shuln welde hem.
10 Sothely
this thing shal cum to hem for her
pride, in whiche thei blasfemyden, and
weren magnyfied vpon the peple of the
Lord of oostis.
11 Orrible the Lord vpon
hem, and he shal make feble alle goddis
of erthe; and men of her place shuln
-- --
wirshipe hym, alle the ijlis of hethen
men.
12 Bot and &yogh;ee, Ethiopiens, shuln be
slayn bi my swerd.
13 And he shal stretche
forth his hond vpon the north, and shal
leese Assur; and he shal putte the faire
in to wildrenesse, and in to vnwayed, and
as desert.
14 And alle flockis, and beestis
of folkis, shuln ligge in the mydil therof;
and onacratalus, that is, a brid with a
long bill lijke a swan, and the yrchoun
shuln dwelle in the threshefoldis therof;
voys of the syngynge in a wyndowe, and
a crowe in the lyntill, or ouer thresfold,
for Y shal make thynne the strengthe
therof.
15 This is the glorious citee dwellynge
in trist, whiche saide in her herte,
Y am, and ther is noon other more with
outen me. Hou it is maad desert, a
couche of beest? Eche man that shal passe
bi it, shal hisse, or scorne, and shal moue
his hond.
