1. Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, you nation that has no shame,
2. before the appointed time when the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord comes on you, before the day of the Lord’s anger comes on you.
3. Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of the Lord’s anger.
4. For Gaza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation. They will drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron will be rooted up.
