CHAPTER 2
Seek righteousness; seek meekness—Judgment shall come upon the
Philistines, Moab, the children of Ammon, the Ethiopians, and the
Assyrians.

1 GATHER yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;
2 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.
3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye ameek of
the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek
brighteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be
hid in the cday of the LORD's
angera.

3a it may be ye shall be hid in the day
of the LORD's anger Those who have successfully sought unto the
Lord may be spared the great destructions of the Lord's anger against the
wicked. With the people of the world seeking more towards that which is
worldly and wicked in the sight of God, the day of the Lord's vengence will
shorely and likely shortly come. The prudent ought to now seek unto the Lord
in humility and meekness, forsaking the ways of the earth and walking in the
ways of godliness that they may be spared the wrath of the Lord in that day
of the LORD's anger.
