2:1 Gather
your
selues
together,
yea
gather
together,
O
nation
not
desired.
2:2 Before
the
decree
bring
foorth,
before
the
day
passe
as
the
chaffe,
before
the
fierce
anger
of
the
Lord
come
vpon
you,
before
the
day
of
the
Lords
anger
come
vpon
you.
2:3 Seeke
ye
the
Lord
all
ye
meeke
of
the
earth,
which
haue
wrought
his
iudgement,
seeke
righteousnesse,
seeke
meeknesse:
it
may
be,
ye
shall
be
hid
in
the
day
of
the
Lords
anger.
2:4 For
Gaza
shall
bee
forsaken,
and
Ashkelon
a
desolation:
they
shall
driue
out
Ashdod
at
the
noone
day,
and
Ekron
shall
be
rooted
vp.
2:5 Woe
vnto
the
inhabitants
of
the
sea
coast:
the
nation
of
the
Cherethites,
the
word
of
the
Lord
is
against
you:
O
Canaan,
the
land
of
the
Philistines,
I
will
euen
destroy
thee,
that
there
shal
be
no
inhabitant.
2:6 And
the
sea
coast
shall
bee
dwellings
and
cottages
for
shepheards,
and
foldes
for
flockes.
2:7 And
the
coast
shall
bee
for
the
remnant
of
the
house
of
Iudah,
they
shall
feede
thereupon,
in
the
houses
of
Ashkelon
shall
they
lie
downe
in
the
euening:
for
the
Lord
their
God
shall
visite
them,
and
turne
away
their
captiuitie.
2:8 I
haue
heard
the
reproach
of
Moab,
and
the
reuilings
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
whereby
they
haue
reproched
my
people,
and
magnified
themselues
against
their
border.
2:9 Therefore,
as
I
liue,
saith
the
Lord
of
hostes
the
God
of
Israel,
surely
Moab
shalbe
as
Sodom,
and
the
children
of
Ammon
as
Gomorrah,
euen
the
breeding
of
netles,
and
salt
pits,
and
a
perpetuall
desolation,
the
residue
of
my
people
shall
spoile
them,
and
the
remnant
of
my
people
shall
possesse
them.
2:10 This
shall
they
haue
for
their
pride,
because
they
haue
reproched
and
magnified
themselues
against
the
people
of
the
Lord
of
hostes.
2:11 The
Lord
will
be
terrible
vnto
them:
for
he
will
famish
all
the
gods
of
the
earth,
and
men
shall
worship
him,
euery
one
from
his
place,
euen
all
the
Iles
of
the
heathen.
2:12 Ye
Ethiopians
also,
ye
shalbe
slaine
by
my
sword.
2:13 And
he
wil
stretch
out
his
hand
against
the
North,
and
destroy
Assyria,
and
wil
make
Nineueh
a
desolation,
and
dry
like
a
wildernes.
2:14 And
flocks
shall
lie
downe
in
the
midst
of
her,
all
the
beasts
of
the
nations:
both
the
Cormorant,
and
the
Bitterne,
shall
lodge
in
the
vpper
lintels
of
it:
their
voice
shal
sing
in
the
windowes,
desolation
shall
be
in
the
thresholds:
for
he
shall
vncouer
the
Cedar
worke.
2:15 This
is
the
reioycing
citie
that
dwelt
carelessely,
that
said
in
her
heart,
I
am,
and
there
is
none
beside
me:
how
is
shee
become
a
desolation,
a
place
for
beasts
to
lie
downe
in!
euery
one
that
passeth
by
her,
shall
hisse
and
wagge
his
hand.
