(A)Seek the Lord,
All you (B)humble of the [a]earth
Who have practiced His [b]ordinances;
(C)Seek righteousness, seek humility.
Perhaps you will (D)remain hidden
On the day of the Lords anger.

For (E)Gaza will be abandoned,
And Ashkelon will become a desolation;
The inhabitants of (F)Ashdod will be driven out at noon,
And (G)Ekron will be uprooted.
Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast,
The nation of the [c](H)Cherethites!
The word of the Lord is (I)against you,
(J)Canaan, land of the Philistines;
And I will (K)eliminate you
So that there will be (L)no inhabitant.
