1 He moveth to return to God, 5 prophesying destruction against the Philistines, Moabites and others.

Gather [a]yourselves, even gather you, O nation not worthy to be loved,

Before the decree come forth, and ye be as chaff that passeth in a day, and before the fierce wrath of the Lord come upon you, and before the day of the Lord’s anger come upon you.

Seek ye the Lord all the meek of the earth, which [b]have wrought his judgment: seek righteousness, seek lowliness, if so be that ye may be hid in the day of the Lord’s wrath.
