Zephaniah 2:1–3

A CALL TO REPENTANCE

2 Gather yourselves together;

gather together, undesirableB nation,

2 before the decreec takes effect

and the day passes like chaff,

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

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

3 Seek the Lord,f all you humbleg of the earth,

who carry out what he commands.

Seek righteousness, seek humility;

perhaps you will be concealedh

on the day of the Lord’s anger.
