1 Gather together, gather yourselves together,

you shameful nation,

2 before the decree takes effect

and that day passes like windblown chaff,

before the Lord’s fierce anger

comes upon you,

before the day of the Lord’s wrath

comes upon you.

1 Gather together, yes, gather,

O shameless nation,

2 before the decree takes effect

—before the day passes away like chaff—

before there comes upon you

the burning anger of the Lord,

before there comes upon you

the day of the anger of the Lord.

1 Gather together—yes, gather together,

you shameless nation.

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.

1 Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together,

O undesirable nation,

2 Before the decree is issued,

Or the day passes like chaff,

Before the Lord’s fierce anger comes upon you,

Before the day of the Lord’s anger comes upon you!

1 Gather together, gather,

you unwanted people.

2 Do it before it’s too late,

before you are blown away like chaff,

before the Lord’s terrible anger reaches you,

before the day of the Lord’s anger comes to you.

1 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation that hath no shame; 2 before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Jehovah come upon you, before the day of Jehovah’s anger come upon you.

1 Collect yourselves and gather together, O nation without shame, 2 before the decree bring forth, before the day pass away as chaff, before the fierce anger of Jehovah come upon you, before the day of Jehovah’s anger come upon you.

1 Gather yourselves together! 

Yes, gather together, you shameless nation, 

2 before the decree is carried out 

⸤and⸥ the day passes like windblown husks, 

before the Lord’s burning anger comes to you, 

before the day of the Lord’s anger comes to you. 

1 Gather yourselves together;

gather together, undesirable nation,

2 before the decree takes effect

and the day passes like chaff,

before the burning of the Lord’s anger overtakes you,

before the day of the Lord’s anger overtakes you.

1 Gather together, gather,

O shameless nation,

2 before you are driven away

like the drifting chaff,

before there comes upon you

the fierce anger of the Lord,

before there comes upon you

the day of the Lord’s wrath.

1 Gather yourselves together! Now gather together,

O nation having no shame!

2 Before the birth of the decree,

the day flies away like chaff;

before the fierce anger of Yahweh overtakes you;

before the day of the anger of Yahweh overtakes you.

1 Gather your people together,

you shameful nation of Judah!

Gather them together!

2 Come together before the appointed time arrives.

The day of the Lord will sweep in

like straw blown by the wind.

Soon the Lord’s anger will burn against you.

The day of his anger will come on you.

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.
