RF ZEP 2:1 An Appeal to Repentance.
Assemble yourselves!—Oh! assemble!
You nation, who are without shame!
RF ZEP 2:2 Before the Decree is proclaimed,—
Before the Day passes like chaff!—
Before comes on you the LORD'S anger,
Before comes on you the LORD'S day,—
RF ZEP 2:3 Let all the Good men of the country
Who have practiced the right, seek the LORD.
Seek you Righteousness,—seek you for Mercy—
Perhaps they may turn in that day the LORD'S wrath;
RF ZEP 2:4 For Gaza will then be forsaken,
And Ashkelon ruined and waste,
Ashdod be plundered at noonday,
And Akron uprooted!
RF ZEP 2:5 Woe you who dwell on the banks of the Sea!
The Tribe of the Krithim!
The LORD'S Message comes against you.
Philistia's mercantile land!—
I will waste you and your people,
RF ZEP 2:6 And the Sea-coasts shall come to be pastures,—
Huts for shepherds, and foldings for sheep!
RF ZEP 2:7 And that coast will be broken to fragments;
And Judah's house pasture on them;—
Couch in Ashkalon's houses at evening
For there the LORD GOD will collect,
And bring their captivity home!
RF ZEP 2:8 A denunciation of Moab and Edom.
"I have heard of the insults of Moab and the jeers of the Beni-Amon;—How they insulted My People, and have jeered at their bounds!
RF ZEP 2:9 "And, therefore, by My life," says the LORD OF HOSTS, the GOD of Israel,—"Moab shall become like Sodom, and the Beni-Amon like Gomorah,—the possession of nettles, and salt-pits, and a desolation for ever.— The fragments of My People shall plunder them, and the remnant of the Nation inherit them.
RF ZEP 2:10 This is for them,—because of their pride; because they insulted and cursed against the People of the LORD OF HOSTS.—
RF ZEP 2:11 The LORD will be venerated by them,—for all the GODS of the earth will waste away and they will worship Him, every one from his home, in all the Isles of the Heathen.
RF ZEP 2:12 "You Kushim, also, will be assailed by the sword yourselves,
RF ZEP 2:13 and He will extend His hand against the North and enfeeble Ashur, and make Ninevah a desolation,—waterless like the Desert!
RF ZEP 2:14 "And herds shall lie down in the midst of it, animals of every kind. The Pelican and Hedgehog shall lodge in her porticos; their voice will sing in her windows. Desolation shall sit on her threshold,—when her wainscot is stripped!
RF ZEP 2:15 The Lament of the Beasts of Edom.
This was the City of Delight!
The dweller in ease!
Who said in her heart, "I Am, And there is none like me!"
How has she become a desolate couch for beasts?
Every by-passer sighs, and shakes his hand!
