Zephaniah 2:2

Judgment Of Judah's Enemies

¹ Gather yourselves together;
gather together, undesirable nation,
² before the decree takes effect
and the day passes like chaff,
before the burning of the Lord’s anger overtakes you,
before the day of the Lord’s anger overtakes you.
³ Seek the Lord, all you humble of the earth,
who carry out what He commands.
Seek righteousness, seek humility;
perhaps you will be concealed
on the day of the Lord’s anger.
