ESVEnglish Standard Version

Gather together, yes, gather,

O shameless nation,

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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Gather yourselves together;

gather together, undesirable nation,

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.

NLTNew Living Translation

Gather together—yes, gather together,

you shameless nation.

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Gather yourselves together! Now gather together,

O nation having no shame!

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;

Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff,

Before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you,

Before the day of the Lord’s anger come upon you.
