CHAP. II.
An exhortation to repentance.
The judgment of the Philistines,
of the Moabites and
the Ammonites; of the Ethiopians,
and the Assyrians.
1 Assemble yourselves
together, be
gathered together O nation
not worthy to be loved:
2 Before the decree bring
forth the day as dust passing
away, before the fierce anger
of the Lord come upon
you, before the day of the
Lord's indignation come upon
you.
3 Seek the Lord all ye
meek of the earth, you that
have wrought his judgment:
seek the just, seek the meek:
if by any means you may be
hid in the day of the Lord's
indignation.
4 For Gaza shall be destroyed,
and Ascalon shall
-- --
be a desart, they shall cast
out Azotus at noon-day, and
Accaron shall be rooted up.
5 Wo to you that inhabit
the sea coast, O nation of
reprobates: the word of the
Lord upon you, O Chanaan,
the land of the Philistines,
and I will destroy thee, so
that there shall not be an
inhabitant.
6 And the sea coast shall
be the resting-place of shepherds,
and folds for cattle:
7 And it shall be the portion
of him that shall remain
of the house of Juda, there
they shall feed: in the houses
of Ascalon they shall rest in
the evening: because the
Lord their God will visit
them, and bring back their
captivity.
8 I have heard the reproach
of Moab, and the
blasphemies of the children
of Ammon, with which they
reproached my people, and
have magnified themselves
upon their borders.
9 Therefore as I live,
saith the Lord of hosts the
God of Israel, Moab shall
be as Sodom, and the children
of Ammon as Gomorrha,
the driness of thorns,
and heaps of salt, and a desart
even for ever: the remnant
of my people shall make
a spoil of them, and the residue
of my nation shall possess
them.
10 This shall befal them
for their pride: because they
have blasphemed, and have
been magnified against the
people of the Lord of hosts.
11 The Lord shall be
terrible upon them, and shall
consume all the gods of the
earth: and they shall adore
him every man from his own
place, all the islands of the
Gentiles.
12 You Ethiopians also
shall be slain with my sword.
13 And he will stretch
out his hand upon the north,
and will destroy Assyria:
and he will make note the
beautiful city a wilderness,
and as a place not passable,
and as a desart.
14 And flocks shall lie
down in the midst thereof,
all the beasts of the nations:
and the bittern, and the urchin
shall lodge in the threshold
thereof: the voice of the
singing bird in the window,
the raven on the upper
post, for I will consume
her strength.
15 This is the glorious
city that dwelt in security:
that said in her heart: I am,
and there is none beside me:
how is she become a desart,
-- --
a place for beasts to lie down
in? every one that passeth
by her, shall hiss, and wag
his hand.
