(A)Seek Yahweh,
All you (B)humble of the [a]earth
Who have worked His justice;
(C)Seek righteousness, seek humility.
Perhaps you will be (D)hidden
In the day of Yahweh’s anger.

For (E)Gaza will be [b]forsaken
And Ashkelon a desolation;
(F)Ashdod will be driven out at noon,
And (G)Ekron will be uprooted.
Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast,
The nation of the [c](H)Cherethites!
The word of Yahweh is (I)against you,
O (J)Canaan, land of the Philistines;
And I will (K)make you perish
So that there will be (L)no inhabitant.
