Zephaniah 2:3 in Context — Zephaniah 2

1 Rentrez en vous-mêmes, examinez-vous, Nation sans pudeur,

2 Avant que le décret s’exécute Et que ce jour passe comme la balle, Avant que la colère ardente de l’Éternel fonde sur vous, Avant que le jour de la colère de l’Éternel fonde sur vous!

3 Cherchez l’Éternel, vous tous, humbles du pays, Qui pratiquez ses ordonnances! Recherchez la justice, recherchez l’humilité! Peut-être serez-vous épargnés au jour de la colère de l’Éternel.

4 Car Gaza sera délaissée, Askalon sera réduite en désert, Asdod sera chassée en plein midi, Ékron sera déracinée.

5 Malheur aux habitants des côtes de la mer, à la nation des Kéréthiens! L’Éternel a parlé contre toi, Canaan, pays des Philistins! Je te détruirai, tu n’auras plus d’habitants.
