A Call to Repentance
Judgment against Philistia
Judgment against Moab and Ammon
Judgment against Ethiopia and Assyria -
|Sofonias 2:1| Gather together—yes, gather together,
you shameless nation.
-
|Sofonias 2:2| Gather before judgment begins,
before your time to repent is blown away like chaff.
Act now, before the fierce fury of the lord falls
and the terrible day of the lord’s anger begins.
-
|Sofonias 2:3| Seek the lord, all who are humble,
and follow his commands.
Seek to do what is right
and to live humbly.
Perhaps even yet the lord will protect you—
protect you from his anger on that day of destruction.
-
|Sofonias 2:4| Gaza and Ashkelon will be abandoned,
Ashdod and Ekron torn down.
-
|Sofonias 2:5| And what sorrow awaits you Philistines
who live along the coast and in the land of Canaan,
for this judgment is against you, too!
The lord will destroy you
until not one of you is left.
-
|Sofonias 2:6| The Philistine coast will become a wilderness pasture,
a place of shepherd camps
and enclosures for sheep and goats.
-
|Sofonias 2:7| The remnant of the tribe of Judah will pasture there.
They will rest at night in the abandoned houses in Ashkelon.
For the lord their God will visit his people in kindness
and restore their prosperity again.
-
|Sofonias 2:8| “I have heard the taunts of the Moabites
and the insults of the Ammonites,
mocking my people
and invading their borders.
-
|Sofonias 2:9| Now, as surely as I live,”
says the lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel,
“Moab and Ammon will be destroyed—
destroyed as completely as Sodom and Gomorrah.
Their land will become a place of stinging nettles,
salt pits, and eternal desolation.
The remnant of my people will plunder them
and take their land.”
-
|Sofonias 2:10| They will receive the wages of their pride,
for they have scoffed at the people of the lord of Heaven’s Armies.
