Chapter 2
13.1
14.1
Herds will lie down in the middle of her, all the animals of the nations. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.
15.1
This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, “I am, and there is no one besides me.” How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in!
15.2
Everyone who passes by her will hiss, and shake their fists.
Chapter 3
1.1
Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city!
2.1
She didn’t obey the voice. She didn’t receive correction. She didn’t trust in Yahweh. She didn’t draw near to her God.
3.1
Her princes within her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.
8.1
“Therefore wait for me”, says Yahweh, “until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
9.1
For then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on Yahweh’s name, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.
10.1
From beyond the rivers of Cush, my worshipers, even the daughter of my dispersed people, will bring my offering.
11.1
12.1
But I will leave among you an afflicted and poor people, and they will take refuge in Yahweh’s name.
13.1
The remnant of Israel will not do iniquity, nor speak lies, neither will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth, for they will feed and lie down, and no one will make them afraid.”
14.1
Sing, daughter of Zion! Shout, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem. Yahweh has taken away your judgments.

before the appointed time when the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Yahweh comes on you, before the day of Yahweh’s anger comes on you.
before[H2962] the[H5921] appointed[H2706] time[H3117] when[H3117] the[H5921] day[H3117] passes[H5674] as[H3117] the[H5921] chaff,[H4671] before[H2962] the[H5921] fierce[H2740] anger[H2740] of[H3068] Yahweh[H3068] comes[H5674] on[H5921] you,[H5921] before[H2962] the[H5921] day[H3117] of[H3068] Yahweh’s[H3068] anger[H2740] comes[H5674] on[H5921] you.[H5921]

Seek Yahweh, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of Yahweh’s anger.
Seek[H1245] Yahweh,[H3068] all[H3605] you[H3605] humble[H6035] of[H3068] the[H3605] land,[H776] who[H3605] have[H3068] kept[H8104] his[H3605] ordinances.[H4941] Seek[H1245] righteousness.[H6664] Seek[H1245] humility.[H6038] It[H3068] may[H3068] be[H3068] that[H3605] you[H3605] will[H3068] be[H3068] hidden[H5641] in[H3068] the[H3605] day[H3117] of[H3068] Yahweh’s[H3068] anger.[H639]

For Gaza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation. They will drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron will be rooted up.
For[H3588] Gaza[H5804] will[H1961] be[H1961] forsaken,[H5800] and[H8077] Ashkelon[H831] a[H1961] desolation.[H8077] They[H3588] will[H1961] drive[H1644] out[H1644] Ashdod[H795] at[H1961] noonday,[H6672] and[H8077] Ekron[H6138] will[H1961] be[H1961] rooted[H5428] up.[H1644]
5
Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! Yahweh’s word is against you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines. I will destroy you, that there will be no inhabitant.
Woe[H1945] to[H3068] the[H5921] inhabitants[H3427] of[H3068] the[H5921] sea[H3220] coast,[H2256] the[H5921] nation[H1471] of[H3068] the[H5921] Cherethites![H3774] Yahweh’s[H3068] word[H1697] is[H3068] against[H5921] you,[H5921] Canaan,[H3667] the[H5921] land[H776] of[H3068] the[H5921] Philistines.[H6430] I[H5921] will[H3068] destroy[H7843] you[H5921] until[H3068] there[H3427] is[H3068] no[H3808] inhabitant.[H3427]
6
The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.
The[H1961] sea[H3220] coast[H2256] will[H1961] be[H1961] pastures,[H5116] with[H3220] cottages[H3741] for[H1961] shepherds[H7462] and[H6629] folds[H1448] for[H1961] flocks.[H6629]

The coast will be for the remnant of the house of Judah. They will find pasture. In the houses of Ashkelon, they will lie down in the evening, for Yahweh, their God,[1] will visit them, and restore them.
The[H5921] coast[H2256] will[H3068] be[H1961] for[H3588] the[H5921] remnant[H7611] of[H1004] the[H5921] house[H1004] of[H1004] Judah.[H3063] They[H3588] will[H3068] find[H4672] pasture.[H7462] In[H5921] the[H5921] houses[H1004] of[H1004] Ashkelon,[H831] they[H3588] will[H3068] lie[H7257] down[H7257] in[H5921] the[H5921] evening,[H6153] for[H3588] Yahweh,[H3068] their[H3068] God,[H3068] will[H3068] visit[H6485] them[H5921] and[H3063] restore[H7725] them.[H5921]

I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the insults of the children of Ammon, with which they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
I[H5921] have[H5971] heard[H8085] the[H5921] reproach[H2781] of[H1121] Moab[H4124] and[H1121] the[H5921] insults[H2781] of[H1121] the[H5921] children[H1121] of[H1121] Ammon,[H5983] with[H5921] which[H5971] they[H5921] have[H5971] reproached[H2778] my[H8085] people[H5971] and[H1121] magnified[H1431] themselves[H1431] against[H5921] their[H8085] border.[H1366]
9
Therefore as I live, says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, surely Moab will be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation. The remnant of my people will plunder them, and the survivors of my nation will inherit them.
Therefore,[H3651] as[H5704] I[H3588] live,[H2416] says[H5002] Yahweh[H3068] of[H1121] Armies,[H6635] the[H5002] God[H3068] of[H1121] Israel,[H3478] surely[H3588] Moab[H4124] will[H3068] be[H1961] as[H5704] Sodom,[H5467] and[H1121] the[H5002] children[H1121] of[H1121] Ammon[H5983] as[H5704] Gomorrah,[H6017] a[H1961] possession[H5157] of[H1121] nettles[H2738] and[H1121] salt[H4417] pits,[H4379] and[H1121] a[H1961] perpetual[H5769] desolation.[H8077] The[H5002] remnant[H7611] of[H1121] my[H3068] people[H5971] will[H3068] plunder[H962] them,[H1961] and[H1121] the[H5002] survivors[H7611] of[H1121] my[H3068] nation[H1471] will[H3068] inherit[H5157] them.[H1961]
10
This they will have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Yahweh of Armies.
This[H2063] they[H1992] will[H3068] have[H3068] for[H3588] their[H3068] pride,[H1347] because[H3588] they[H1992] have[H3068] reproached[H2778] and[H3068] magnified[H1431] themselves[H1992] against[H5921] the[H5921] people[H5971] of[H3068] Yahweh[H3068] of[H3068] Armies.[H6635]
11
Yahweh will be awesome to them, for he will famish all the gods of the land. Men will worship him, everyone from his place, even all the shores of the nations.
Yahweh[H3068] will[H3068] be[H3068] awesome[H3372] to[H3068] them,[H5921] for[H3588] he[H3588] will[H3068] famish[H7329] all[H3605] the[H3605] gods[H430] of[H3068] the[H3605] land.[H4725] Men[H3605] will[H3068] worship[H7812] him,[H5921] everyone[H3605] from[H5921] his[H3605] place,[H4725] even[H3588] all[H3605] the[H3605] shores of[H3068] the[H3605] nations.[H1471]
12
You Cushites also, you will be killed by my sword.
You[H1571] Cushites also,[H1571] you[H1571] will[H1571] be[H1571] killed[H2491] by[H1571] my[H1571] sword.[H2719]
13
He will stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as the wilderness.
He[H3027] will[H3027] stretch[H5186] out[H5186] his[H7760] hand[H3027] against[H5921] the[H5921] north,[H6828] destroy[H7843] Assyria,[H804] and[H3027] will[H3027] make[H7760] Nineveh[H5210] a[H7760] desolation,[H8077] as[H3027] dry[H6723] as[H3027] the[H5921] wilderness.[H4057]
14
Herds will lie down in the middle of her, all the animals of the nations. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.
Herds[H5739] will[H1471] lie[H7257] down[H7257] in[H8432] the[H3605] middle[H8432] of[H6963] her,[H3605] all[H3605] kinds[H3605] of[H6963] animals.[H2416] Both[H1571] the[H3605] pelican[H6893] and[H6963] the[H3605] porcupine will[H1471] lodge[H3885] in[H8432] its[H3605] capitals.[H3730] Their[H3605] calls[H6963] will[H1471] echo[H8085] through[H8432] the[H3605] windows.[H2474] Desolation[H2721] will[H1471] be[H1571] in[H8432] the[H3605] thresholds,[H5592] for[H3588] he[H3588] has[H1571] laid[H6168] bare[H6168] the[H3605] cedar[H730] beams.[H3773]

This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, “I am, and there is no one besides me.” How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in! Everyone who passes by her will hiss, and shake their fists.
This[H2063] is[H3027] the[H3605] joyous[H5947] city[H5892] that[H3605] lived[H3427] carelessly,[H983] that[H3605] said[H559] in[H3427] her[H3605] heart,[H3824] “I[H5921] am,[H1961] and[H3027] there[H3427] is[H3027] no[H3605] one[H3605] besides[H5921] me.”[H5921] How[H4100] she[H5921] has[H1961] become[H1961] a[H1961] desolation,[H8047] a[H1961] place[H3027] for[H5921] animals[H2416] to[H1961] lie[H1961] down[H3427] in![H3427] Everyone[H3605] who[H3605] passes[H5674] by[H3027] her[H3605] will[H1961] hiss[H8319] and[H3027] shake[H5128] their[H3605] fists.[H2651]
Chapter 3
1
Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city!
2
She didn’t obey the voice. She didn’t receive correction. She didn’t trust in Yahweh. She didn’t draw near to her God.
3
Her princes within her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.
4
Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.
5
Yahweh, within her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn’t fail, but the unjust know no shame.
6
I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
7
I said, “Just fear me. Receive correction, so that her dwelling won’t be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her.” But they rose early and corrupted all their doings.
8
“Therefore wait for me”, says Yahweh, “until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
9
For then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on Yahweh’s name, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.
10
From beyond the rivers of Cush, my worshipers, even the daughter of my dispersed people, will bring my offering.
