Protection and Judgment: Zephaniah 2:1-3


Focus Passage: Zephaniah 2:1-3 (NLT)

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

2 Gather before judgment begins,
    before your time to repent is blown away like chaff.
Act now, before the fierce fury of the Lord falls
    and the terrible day of the Lord’s anger begins.

3 Seek the Lord, all who are humble,
    and follow his commands.
Seek to do what is right
    and to live humbly.
Perhaps even yet the Lord will protect you—
    protect you from his anger on that day of destruction.
