Before the decreeH2706 bring forthH3205, before the dayH3117 passH5674 as the chaffH4671, beforeH3808 the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 comeH935 upon you, before the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 angerH639 comeH935 upon you.
SeekH1245 ye the LORDH3068, all ye meekH6035 of the earthH776, which have wroughtH6466 his judgmentH4941; seekH1245 righteousnessH6664, seekH1245 meeknessH6038: it may beH194 ye shall be hidH5641 in the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 angerH639.
For GazaH5804 shall be forsakenH5800, and AshkelonH831 a desolationH8077: they shall drive outH1644 AshdodH795 at the noon dayH6672, and EkronH6138 shall be rooted upH6131.
WoeH1945 unto the inhabitantsH3427 of the seaH3220 coastH2256, the nationH1471 of the CherethitesH3774! the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 is against you; O CanaanH3667, the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, I will even destroyH6 thee, that there shall be no inhabitantH3427.
And the seaH3220 coastH2256 shall be dwellingsH5116 and cottagesH3741 for shepherdsH7462, and foldsH1448 for flocksH6629.
And the coastH2256 shall be for the remnantH7611 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063; they shall feedH7462 thereupon: in the housesH1004 of AshkelonH831 shall they lie downH7257 in the eveningH6153: for the LORDH3068 their GodH430 shall visitH6485 them, and turn awayH7725 their captivityH7622+H7622. {for the LORD: or, when, etc}
I have heardH8085 the reproachH2781 of MoabH4124, and the revilingsH1421 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, whereby they have reproachedH2778 my peopleH5971, and magnifiedH1431 themselves against their borderH1366.
Therefore as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Surely MoabH4124 shall be as SodomH5467, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 as GomorrahH6017, even the breedingH4476 of nettlesH2738, and saltpitsH4379+H4417, and a perpetualH5704+H5769 desolationH8077: the residueH7611 of my peopleH5971 shall spoilH962 them, and the remnantH3499 of my peopleH1471 shall possessH5157 them.
This shall they have for their prideH1347, because they have reproachedH2778 and magnifiedH1431 themselves against the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The LORDH3068 will be terribleH3372 unto them: for he will famishH7329 all the godsH430 of the earthH776; and men shall worshipH7812 him, every oneH376 from his placeH4725, even all the islesH339 of the heathenH1471. {famish: Heb. make lean}
Ye EthiopiansH3569 also, yeH1992 shall be slainH2491 by my swordH2719.
And he will stretch outH5186 his handH3027 against the northH6828, and destroyH6 AssyriaH804; and will makeH7760 NinevehH5210 a desolationH8077, and dryH6723 like a wildernessH4057.
And flocksH5739 shall lie downH7257 in the midstH8432 of her, all the beastsH2416 of the nationsH1471: both the cormorantH6893 and the bitternH7090 shall lodgeH3885 in the upper lintelsH3730 of it; their voiceH6963 shall singH7891 in the windowsH2474; desolationH2721 shall be in the thresholdsH5592: for he shall uncoverH6168 the cedar workH731. {cormorant: or, pelican} {upper…: or, knops, or, chapiters} {for…: or, when he hath uncovered}
This is the rejoicingH5947 cityH5892 that dweltH3427 carelesslyH983, that saidH559 in her heartH3824, I am, and there is none besideH657 me: how is she become a desolationH8047, a place for beastsH2416 to lie down inH4769! every one that passeth byH5674 her shall hissH8319, and wagH5128 his handH3027.

Therefore waitH2442 ye upon me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, until the dayH3117 that I rise upH6965 to the preyH5706: for my determinationH4941 is to gatherH622 the nationsH1471, that I may assembleH6908 the kingdomsH4467, to pourH8210 upon them mine indignationH2195, even all my fierceH2740 angerH639: for all the earthH776 shall be devouredH398 with the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068.

For he is our GodH430; and we are the peopleH5971 of his pastureH4830, and the sheepH6629 of his handH3027. To dayH3117 if ye will hearH8085 his voiceH6963,

But they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and misusedH8591 his prophetsH5030, until the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 aroseH5927 against his peopleH5971, till there was no remedyH4832. {remedy: Heb. healing}
HardenH7185 not your heartH3824, as in the provocationH4808, and as in the dayH3117 of temptationH4531 in the wildernessH4057: {provocation: Heb. contention}
Because they have forsakenH5800 me, and have burned incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, that they might provoke me to angerH3707 with all the worksH4639 of their handsH3027; therefore my wrathH2534 shall be kindledH3341 against this placeH4725, and shall not be quenchedH3518.
The nationsH3816 shall rushH7582 like the rushingH7588 of manyH7227 watersH4325: but God shall rebukeH1605 them, and they shall fleeH5127 far offH4801, and shall be chasedH7291 as the chaffH4671 of the mountainsH2022 beforeH6440 the windH7307, and like a rolling thingH1534 beforeH6440 the whirlwindH5492. {a rolling…: or, thistledown}

Thou shalt fanH2219 them, and the windH7307 shall carry them awayH5375, and the whirlwindH5591 shall scatterH6327 them: and thou shalt rejoiceH1523 in the LORDH3068, and shalt gloryH1984 in the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.

Therefore they shall be as the morningH1242 cloudH6051, and as the earlyH7925 dewH2919 that passeth awayH1980, as the chaffH4671 that is driven with the whirlwindH5590 out of the floorH1637, and as the smokeH6227 out of the chimneyH699.
The angerH639 of the LORDH3068 shall not returnH7725, until he have executedH6213, and till he have performedH6965 the thoughtsH4209 of his heartH3820: in the latterH319 daysH3117 ye shall considerH995 it perfectlyH998.
HeavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093 shall pass awayG3928, butG1161 myG3450 wordsG3056 shallG3928 notG3364 pass awayG3928.

AndG2532 sayingG3004, WhereG4226 isG2076 the promiseG1860 of hisG846 comingG3952? forG1063 sinceG575+G3739 the fathersG3962 fell asleepG2837, all thingsG3956 continueG3779+G1265 as they were fromG575 the beginningG746 of the creationG2937.
ForG1063 thisG5124 theyG846 willinglyG2309 are ignorant ofG2990, thatG3754 by the wordG3056 of GodG2316 the heavensG3772 wereG2258 of oldG1597, andG2532 the earthG1093 standingG4921 out ofG1537 the waterG5204 andG2532 inG1223 the waterG5204: {standing: Gr. consisting}
WherebyG1223+G3739 the worldG2889 that then wasG5119, being overflowedG2626 with waterG5204, perishedG622:
ButG1161 the heavensG3772 andG2532 the earthG1093, which are nowG3568, by the sameG846 wordG3056 areG1526 kept in storeG2343, reservedG5083 unto fireG4442 againstG1519 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 andG2532 perditionG684 of ungodlyG765 menG444.
ButG1161, belovedG27, beG2990 notG3361+G5209 ignorantG2990 of this oneG1520 thingG5124, thatG3754 oneG3391 dayG2250 is withG3844 the LordG2962 asG5613 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094, andG2532 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094 asG5613 oneG3391 dayG2250.
The LordG2962 isG1019 notG3756 slackG1019 concerning his promiseG1860, asG5613 some menG5100 countG2233 slacknessG1022; butG235 is longsufferingG3114 toG1519 us-wardG2248, notG3361 willingG1014 that anyG5100 should perishG622, butG235 that allG3956 should comeG5562 toG1519 repentanceG3341.
ButG1161 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 will comeG2240 asG5613 a thiefG2812 inG1722 the nightG3571; inG1722 the whichG3739 the heavensG3772 shall pass awayG3928 with a great noiseG4500, andG1161 the elementsG4747 shall meltG3089 with fervent heatG2741, the earthG1093 alsoG2532 andG2532 the worksG2041 that are thereinG1722+G846 shall be burned upG2618.
Who can standH5975 beforeH6440 his indignationH2195? and who can abideH6965 in the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639? his furyH2534 is poured outH5413 like fireH784, and the rocksH6697 are thrown downH5422 by him. {abide: Heb. stand up}
For, behold, the dayH3117 comethH935, that shall burnH1197 as an ovenH8574; and all the proudH2086, yea, and all that doH6213 wickedlyH7564, shall be stubbleH7179: and the dayH3117 that comethH935 shall burn them upH3857, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that it shall leaveH5800 them neither rootH8328 nor branchH6057.
But unto you that fearH3373 my nameH8034 shall the SunH8121 of righteousnessH6666 ariseH2224 with healingH4832 in his wingsH3671; and ye shall go forthH3318, and grow upH6335 as calvesH5695 of the stallH4770.
StriveG75 to enter inG1525 atG1223 the straitG4728 gateG4439: forG3754 manyG4183, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, will seekG2212 to enter inG1525, andG2532 shallG2480 notG3756 be ableG2480.
When onceG575+G3739+G302 the master of the houseG3617 is risen upG1453, andG2532 hath shutG608 to the doorG2374, andG2532 ye beginG756 to standG2476 withoutG1854, andG2532 to knockG2925 at the doorG2374, sayingG3004, LordG2962, LordG2962, openG455 unto usG2254; andG2532 he shall answerG611 and sayG2046 unto youG5213, I knowG1492 youG5209 notG3756 whenceG4159 ye areG2075:
ThenG5119 shall ye beginG756 to sayG3004, We have eatenG5315 andG2532 drunkG4095 in thyG4675 presenceG1799, andG2532 thou hast taughtG1321 inG1722 ourG2257 streetsG4113.
ButG2532 he shall sayG2046, I tellG3004 youG5213, I knowG1492 youG5209 notG3756 whenceG4159 ye areG2075; departG868 fromG575 meG1700, allG3956 ye workersG2040 of iniquityG93.
ThereG1563 shall beG2071 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 of teethG3599, whenG3752 ye shall seeG3700 AbrahamG11, andG2532 IsaacG2464, andG2532 JacobG2384, andG2532 allG3956 the prophetsG4396, inG1722 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, andG1161 youG5209 yourselves thrustG1544 outG1854.
