Zephaniah 2:2-4
Tree of Life Version
Zephaniah 2:2-4
Tree of Life Version
2 before the decree is brought forth,
before the day passes away like chaff,
before Adonai’s burning anger comes upon you,
before the day of Adonai’s anger comes upon you!
3 Seek Adonai, all you humble of the land
who have executed His judgment.
Seek righteousness; seek meekness![a]
Perhaps you will be hidden
on the day of Adonai’s wrath.
4 For Gaza will be abandoned
and Ashkelon will be a wasteland.
Ashdod will be driven out at noon
and Ekron will be uprooted.
