¶ The .ii. Chapter. ¶ He moueth to returne to God, prophecyinge vnto the one destruccyon, ∧ to the other delyueraunce.

A   Examyne youre selues ∧ serche O þu; Nacyon þt; hast no desire to þe; lawe or þe; thing go forth þt; God hath concluded, ∧ or the tyme come wherin man shall passe awaye as the dust: or þe; fearfull wrath of þe; Lord come vp&obar; you: yee, or þe; daye of þe; Lordes sore displeasure come vpon you. Seke þe; Lord all yee meke harted vp&obar; earth, ye þt; worcke after his iudgem&ebar;t: seke ryghteousnesse, seke note lowlynesse: þt; ye maye be defended in þe; wrothful daye of the Lord: note For Gaza shal be destroyed, and Ascalon shall be layed waste. They shall cast out Asdod at the noone daye, and Accaron shalbe pluckte vp by the rotes

B   Wo vnto you þt; dwell vpon the see coost ye murtherous people: the worde of þe; Lord shal come vpon you. O Canaan thou lande of the Philistines, I will destroye þe;, so that there shall no man dwell in the eny more, ∧ as for þe; see coast, it shall be heardemens cotages ∧ shepe foldes: yee, it shalbe a porcion for soch as remayne of the house of Iuda, to fede ther vpon. In þe; houses of Ascalon shall they rest towarde nyght: for the Lord their God shal vyset th&ebar;, ∧ turne awaye their captiuite. note C   I haue herde þe; despite of Moab, ∧ the blasphemyes of þe; children of Ammon how they haue shamefully &ibar;treated my people, ∧ magnified them selues within the borders of their lande. Therfore, as truly as I lyue (sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel) Moab shalbe as Sodome ∧ Amm&obar; as Gomorra: eu&ebar; drie thorne hedges, salt pittes ∧ a perpetuall wyldernes. The resydue of my folcke shal spoyle th&ebar;, the r&ebar;naunt of my people shal haue th&ebar; in possessi&obar;. noteThis shall happen vnto them for their pryde, because they haue dealte so shamefully with þe; Lorde of hostes people, ∧ magnified th&ebar; selues aboue th&ebar;. The Lord shall be grymme vpon them, note ∧ destroye all the goddes in þe; lande. And all the Iles of the Heathen shall worshippe him, euery man in his place.

D   Ye Mory&abar;s also shall perish &wt; my swerde: yee, he shall stretch out his h&abar;de ouer the north, and destroye Assur. noteAs for Niniue, he shall make it desolate, drye ∧ waste. The flockes ∧ all the beastes of þe; people shall lye in þe; middest of it, pellicanes ∧ storckes shal abyde in the vpper postes of it, foules shall synge in the wyndowes, ∧ rauens shall sytt vpon þe; balckes, for þe; boordes of Cedre shalbe ryuen downe. This is the proude and carelesse citye, that sayde in her herte. noteI am, and there is els none. O how is she made so waste, that the beastes lye therin? Who so goeth by, mocketh her, and poynteth at her with his fynger.
