Rh :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.
 * Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth,
 * Which have wrought his judgment;
 * Seek righteousness, seek meekness:
 * It may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger.


 * For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation:
 * They shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
 * Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites!
 * The word of the Lord is against you;
 * O Canaan, the land of the Philistines,
 * I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
 * And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
 * And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah;
 * They shall feed thereupon:
 * In the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening:
 * For the Lord their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.
