Zephaniah 2:1–3

M S
G
V

Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O shameless nation;

Be ye gathered and closely joined together, O unchastened nation;

Assemble, be gathered together, O people not worthy to be loved.

M G S
V

Before the decree bring forth the day when one passeth as the chaff, before the fierce anger of YHWH come upon you, before the day of the YHWH'S anger come upon you.

Until the decree settles accounts, the day like dust is passing away, before which the wrath of the fury of the Lord may overcome you, before which the day of the anger of the Lord may overcome you.

M
G
V S

Seek ye YHWH, all ye humble of the earth, that have executed His ordinance; seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be ye shall be hid in the day of the YHWH'S anger.

Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth; do judgement, and seek justice, and answer accordingly; that ye may be hid in the day of the wrath of the Lord.

Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth; you who have been working are his judgment. Seek the just, seek the meek. So then, in some way, you might be hidden in the day of the fury of the Lord.
