Zephaniah 2:1-7
Zephaniah 2:1-7 TPT
Go ahead and gather yourselves together, you shameless people! Gather yourselves together and turn back to YAHWEH before the appointed time arrives. Repent before you are blown away like chaff, which is swept away in a day, before YAHWEH pours out on you his fiery anger— the day of YAHWEH’s burning fury. All who are meek and humble on earth, seek the mercy of YAHWEH. All who obey his commands, pursue righteousness and discover true humility. For maybe, just maybe, YAHWEH will shelter you on the day of his anger. “For Gaza will be deserted, and Ashkelon devastated. Ashdod will be driven out in broad daylight, and Ekron left desolate. Doom to you who live on the seacoast, to the nation of Cherethites! And Canaan, land of the Philistines, the word of YAHWEH is bad news for you. I will destroy and annihilate you. Your coastal lands will be reduced to pastureland, to grazing grounds for shepherds and folds for flocks. Your land will be occupied by the remnant of the people of Judah. During the day, they will find pasture by the sea, and at night, they will rest in the houses of Ashkelon. YAHWEH their God will care for them, and make them prosper again.”
