Before the decree [a]takes effect—
The day passes (A)like the chaff—
Before the (B)burning anger of Yahweh comes upon you,
Before the (C)day of Yahweh’s anger comes upon you.
(D)Seek Yahweh,
All you (E)humble of the [b]earth
Who have worked His justice;
(F)Seek righteousness, seek humility.
Perhaps you will be (G)hidden
In the day of Yahweh’s anger.

For (H)Gaza will be [c]forsaken
And Ashkelon a desolation;
(I)Ashdod will be driven out at noon,
And (J)Ekron will be uprooted.
