YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Gather
yourselves, gather
together
, O shameful
nation,
Bend
yourselves, yea
, bend
ye,
O nation not
desired
,
before the decree
takes
effect
and
the day passes
like
chaff
, before
the burning
anger
of the LORD
comes
upon you ,
before
the
Day of the LORD’s
anger comes
upon
you.
Before the bringing
forth
of
a
statute,
As
chaff
hath
the day passed
on
, While
yet
not
come
in
upon
you
doth
the heat
of the anger
of
Jehovah,
While
yet
not
come
in
upon you doth
a
day of the anger of
Jehovah,
Seek the
LORD
, all you
humble of the earth
who carry
out
His justice.
Seek righteousness ;
seek humility .
Perhaps
you
will
be sheltered
on
the
day of the LORD’s
anger.
Seek Jehovah
, all ye
humble of the land,
Who His judgment
have
done,
Seek ye
righteousness ,
seek humility ,
It
may
be ye
are
hidden
in
a
day of the anger of
Jehovah
.
For Gaza will
be
abandoned
, and Ashkelon left
in
ruins.
Ashdod will
be
driven
out
at noon, and Ekron will
be
uprooted
.
For Gaza is
forsaken
, And Ashkelon `is'
for
a
desolation,
Ashdod !
at noon they
do
cast
her
forth
, And Ekron is
rooted
up
.
Woe
to
the
dwellers
of the seacoast
, O
nation of the Cherethites !
The
word of the
LORD
is against you, O
Canaan, land of the Philistines :
“I
will
destroy
you
, and no
one
will
be
left
. ”
Ho!
O
inhabitants
of the sea-coast
, Nation of the Cherethites ,
A
word of Jehovah
`
is '
against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines, And I
have
destroyed
thee
without
an
inhabitant
.
So
the seacoast
will
become
a
land
of
pastures
, with
wells
for shepherds and folds for sheep
.
And
the sea-coast
hath
been
habitations
, Cottages
`
for '
shepherds ,
and folds `
for '
a
flock
.
The coast will
belong
to
the remnant of the house of Judah ;
there
they
will
find
pasture.
They will
lie
down
in the
evening
among
the
houses of Ashkelon, for the
LORD
their God will
attend
to
them
and restore
their captives
.
And
the coast hath
been
for
the remnant of the house of Judah ,
By
them
they have
pleasure,
In houses of Ashkelon at
even
they
lie
down
, For inspect
them
doth
Jehovah
their God ,
And He
hath
turned
back
`to'
their captivity
.
“
I have heard the reproach of Moab and the insults
of the Ammonites
, who
have
taunted
My people and threatened
their borders
.
I have heard the reproach of Moab ,
And the revilings
of the sons
of
Ammon
, Wherewith
they
reproached
My people ,
And magnify
`themselves'
against
their border
.
Therefore, as
surely
as
I live, ”
declares
the
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel, “
surely Moab will
be
like
Sodom and the Ammonites
like
Gomorrah —
a
place
of weeds
and salt pits, a perpetual
wasteland.
The remnant
of My people will
plunder
them ;
the
remainder
of My nation will
dispossess
them. ”
Therefore, I live, An
affirmation
of Jehovah
of
Hosts, God of Israel, Surely ,
Moab is
as
Sodom ,
And the sons
of
Ammon
as
Gomorrah ,
An
overrunning
of nettles
and salt -
pits, And
a desolation
--
unto
the age.
A
residue
of My people do
seize
them ,
And
a
remnant
of My nation inherit
them.
This they
shall
have
in
return
for their pride
, for
taunting
and mocking
the people of the
LORD
of Hosts.
This `is'
to
them
for their arrogancy
, Because
they
have
reproached,
And they
magnify
`themselves'
against
the people of Jehovah
of Hosts.
The
LORD
will
be
terrifying
to
them when
He starves
all the
gods of the earth.
Then
the
nations
of
every
shore
will
bow in
worship
to Him, each in
its
own
place.
Fearful
`is'
Jehovah
against
them ,
For
He made
bare
all gods of the land,
And
bow themselves
to Him, each from
his
place ,
Do
all
islanders
of
the
nations
.
“You
too
, O Cushites
, will
be
slain
by
My sword. ”
Also
ye
, O Cushim
, pierced
of
My sword `are'
they
.
And He will
stretch
out
His hand against the north and destroy Assyria;
He will
make
Nineveh a desolation, as
dry as
a desert
.
And He stretcheth
His hand against the north ,
And doth
destroy Asshur,
And
he setteth
Nineveh for
a desolation, A
dry land
like
a wilderness
.
Herds
will
lie
down
in her midst, creatures
of
every kind.
Both
the desert
owl
and screech
owl
will
roost
atop
her pillars.
Their
calls
will
sound
from
the window, but
desolation
will
lie
on
the threshold, for He
will
expose
the beams
of
cedar.
And
crouched
in her midst have
droves
, Every beast
of
the nation,
Both
pelican
and hedge-hog
in
her knobs
lodge,
A
voice
doth
sing
at
the window, `Destruction
`is'
at
the threshold, For the cedar -work
is
exposed
. '
This carefree
city that dwells
securely
, that thinks
to
herself:
“
I am it
, and there is none besides
me
, ”
what
a
ruin
she has
become
, a resting
place for beasts .
Everyone
who
passes
by her hisses
and
shakes
his fist.
This `is'
the
exulting
city that is
dwelling
confidently
, That is
saying
in
her
heart,
`
I `
am '
, and beside
me
there is none, '
How
hath
she been
for
a
desolation
, A crouching-
place for beasts ,
Every
one
passing
by her doth
hiss,
He
doth
shake
his hand!
