1Gather together — yes, gather together,you shameless nation.

2Before you are driven away,like chaff that disappears;Before there comes upon youthe blazing anger of the Lord;Before there comes upon youthe day of the Lord's anger.
NLT
3Seek the LORD, all who are humble,and follow his commands.Seek to do what is rightand to live humbly.Perhaps even yet the LORD will protect you —protect you from his anger on that day of destruction.

NABRE
9Therefore, as I live—oracle of the Lord of hosts—the God of Israel,Moab shall become like Sodom,the Ammonites like Gomorrah:A field of weeds,a salt pit,a waste forever.The remnant of my people shall plunder them,the survivors of my nation dispossess them.

NLT
14The proud city will become a pasture for flocks and herds,and all sorts of wild animals will settle there.The desert owl and screech owl will roost on its ruined columns,their calls echoing through the gaping windows.Rubble will block all the doorways,and the cedar paneling will be exposed to the weather.
NABRE
14In her midst flocks shall lie down,all the wild life of the hollows;The screech owl and the desert owlshall roost in her columns;The owl shall hoot from the window,the raven croak from the doorway.
NLT
15This is the boisterous city,once so secure.“I am the greatest!” it boasted.“No other city can compare with me!”But now, look how it has become an utter ruin,a haven for wild animals.Everyone passing by will laugh in derisionand shake a defiant fist.
NABRE
15Is this the exultant city that dwelt secure,That told itself,"I and there is no one else"?How it has become a waste,a lair for wild animals!Those who pass by ithiss, and shake their fists!
