1 Come together and hold assembly,

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 wrath of the Lord.

3 Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,

who do his commands;

seek righteousness, seek humility;

perhaps you may be hidden

on the day of the wrath of the Lord.
