Chapter 2.

00:02.500 --> 00:03.940
Gather yourselves together.

00:04.580 --> 00:06.940
Yea, gather together, O nation not
desired.

00:07.980 --> 00:11.920
Before the decree bring forth,
before the day pass as the chaff,

00:12.500 --> 00:16.320
before the fierce anger of the Lord come
upon you, before the day of the Lord's

00:16.320 --> 00:21.920
anger come upon you, seek ye the Lord,
all ye meek of the earth, which have

00:21.920 --> 00:22.680
wrought his judgment.

00:23.640 --> 00:28.700
Seek righteousness, seek meekness,
it may be ye shall be hid in the day of

00:28.700 --> 00:29.440
the Lord's anger.

00:31.040 --> 00:34.740
For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a
desolation.

00:35.700 --> 00:39.960
They shall drive out Ashdod at the noon
day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.

00:41.340 --> 00:45.260
Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast,
the nation of the Carithites!

00:46.040 --> 00:49.980
The word of the Lord is against you,
O Canaan, the land of the Philistines.

00:51.020 --> 00:54.300
I will even destroy thee, that there shall
be no inhabitant.

00:55.200 --> 00:58.900
And the sea coast shall be dwellings and
cottages for shepherds, and folds for

00:58.900 --> 00:59.340
flocks.

01:00.040 --> 01:02.280
And the coast shall be for the remnant of
the house of Judah.

01:03.080 --> 01:04.480
They shall feed thereupon.

01:05.000 --> 01:08.020
In the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie
down in the evening.

01:08.760 --> 01:12.100
For the Lord their God shall visit them,
and turn away their captivity.

01:13.260 --> 01:16.860
I have heard the reproach of Moab,
and the revilings of the children of

01:16.860 --> 01:21.340
Ammon, whereby they have reproached my
people, and magnified themselves against

01:21.340 --> 01:21.840
their border.

01:22.880 --> 01:29.020
Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord of
hosts, the God of Israel, surely Moab

01:29.020 --> 01:33.940
shall be as Sodom, and the children of
Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of

01:33.940 --> 01:36.780
nettles and salt pits, and a perpetual
desolation.

01:37.280 --> 01:41.920
The residue of my people shall spoil them,
and the remnant of my people shall possess

01:41.920 --> 01:42.260
them.

01:43.440 --> 01:46.880
This shall they have for their pride,
because they have reproached and magnified

01:46.880 --> 01:49.160
themselves against the people of the Lord
of hosts.

01:49.980 --> 01:53.820
The Lord will be terrible unto them,
for he will famish all the gods of the

01:53.820 --> 01:54.100
earth.

01:54.720 --> 01:59.620
And men shall worship him, every one from
his place, even all the isles of the

01:59.620 --> 01:59.960
heathen.

02:01.360 --> 02:04.700
Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by
my sword.

02:05.500 --> 02:09.080
And he will stretch out his hand against
the north, and destroy Assyria,

02:09.720 --> 02:13.400
and will make Nineveh a desolation,
and dry like a wilderness.

02:14.300 --> 02:18.320
And flocks shall lie down in the midst of
her, all the beasts of the nations.

02:18.760 --> 02:22.180
Both the cormorant and the bittern shall
lodge in the upper lintels of it.

02:22.700 --> 02:24.160
Their voice shall sing in the windows.

02:24.840 --> 02:28.680
Desolation shall be in the thresholds,
for he shall uncover the cedar work.

02:29.540 --> 02:33.080
This is the rejoicing city that dwelt
carelessly, that said in her heart,

02:33.400 --> 02:36.000
I am, and there is none beside me.

02:36.900 --> 02:40.900
How has she become a desolation,
a place for beasts to lie down in?

02:41.540 --> 02:44.680
Every one that passeth by her shall hiss
and wag his hand.
