스바냐 2장 NASB
- 1 Gather yourselves together yes gather O nation without shame
- 2 Before the decree takes effect--The day passes like the chaff--Before the burning anger of the LORD comes upon you Before the day of the LORD'S anger comes upon you.
- 3 Seek the LORD All you humble of the earth Who have carried out His ordinances; Seek righteousness seek humility. Perhaps you will be hidden In the day of the LORD'S anger.
- 4 For Gaza will be abandoned And Ashkelon a desolation; Ashdod will be driven out at noon And Ekron will be uprooted.
- 5 Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast The nation of the Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against you O Canaan land of the Philistines; And I will destroy you So that there will be no inhabitant.
- 6 So the seacoast will be pastures With caves for shepherds and folds for flocks.
- 7 And the coast will be For the remnant of the house of Judah They will pasture on it. In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening; For the LORD their God will care for them And restore their fortune.
- 8 "I have heard the taunting of Moab And the revilings of the sons of Ammon With which they have taunted My people And become arrogant against their territory.
- 9 "Therefore as I live" declares the LORD of hosts The God of Israel "Surely Moab will be like Sodom And the sons of Ammon like Gomorrah--A place possessed by nettles and salt pits And a perpetual desolation. The remnant of My people will plunder them And the remainder of My nation will inherit them."
- 10 This they will have in return for their pride because they have taunted and become arrogant against the people of the LORD of hosts.
- 11 The LORD will be terrifying to them for He will starve all the gods of the earth; and all the coastlands of the nations will bow down to Him everyone from his own place.
- 12 "You also O Ethiopians will be slain by My sword."
- 13 And He will stretch out His hand against the north And destroy Assyria And He will make Nineveh a desolation Parched like the wilderness.
- 14 Flocks will lie down in her midst All beasts which range in herds; Both the pelican and the hedgehog Will lodge in the tops of her pillars; Birds will sing in the window Desolation will be on the threshold; For He has laid bare the cedar work.
- 15 This is the exultant city Which dwells securely Who says in her heart "I am and there is no one besides me." How she has become a desolation A resting place for beasts! Everyone who passes by her will hiss And wave his hand in contempt.
