Zephaniah 2:3-5
New American Standard Bible 1995
3 (A)Seek the Lord,
All you (B)humble of the [a]earth
Who have carried out His [b]ordinances;
(C)Seek righteousness, seek humility.
Perhaps you will be (D)hidden
In the day of the Lord’s anger.
4 For (E)Gaza will be abandoned
And Ashkelon a desolation;
(F)Ashdod will be driven out at noon
And (G)Ekron will be uprooted.
5 Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast,
The nation of the [c](H)Cherethites!
The word of the Lord is (I)against you,
O (J)Canaan, land of the Philistines;
And I will (K)destroy you
So that there will be (L)no inhabitant.
