1 Saberite se, saberite se, narode nemili. 2 Dok nije izašao sud, i dan prošao kao pleva, dok nije došao na vas ljuti gnev Gospodnji, dok nije došao na vas dan gneva Gospodnjeg. 3 Tražite Gospoda svi koji ste krotki u zemlji, koji činite šta je naredio; tražite pravdu, tražite krotost, eda biste se sakrili na dan gneva Gospodnjeg. 4 Jer će se Gaza ostaviti i Askalon će opusteti; Azot će se odagnati u podne i Akaron će se iskoreniti. 5 Teško onima koji žive po bregovima morskim, narodu heretejskom: reč je Gospodnja na vas, Hanane, zemljo filistejska, ja ću te zatrti da ne bude stanovnika u tebi. 6 I bregovi će morski biti stanovi i jame pastirske i torovi za stada. 7 I taj će kraj biti ostatku doma Judinog; onde će pasti; u domovima će askalonskim legati uveče; jer će ih pohoditi Gospod Bog njihov i povratiti roblje njihovo. 8 Čuo sam rug Moavov i ukore sinova Amonovih kojima ružiše moj narod, i raširiše se preko međa njihovih. 9 Zato, tako ja bio živ, govori Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev, Moav će biti kao Sodom i sinovi Amonovi kao Gomor, mesto koprivama, i slanica i večna pustoš; ostatak naroda mog opleniće ih, i koji ostanu od naroda mog naslediće ih. 10 To će im biti za ponositost njihovu; jer ružiše narod Gospoda nad vojskama i podizaše se na Nj. 11 Strašan će im biti Gospod, jer će istrebiti sve bogove zemaljske, i Njemu će se klanjati svaki iz svog mesta, sva ostrva narodna. 12 I vi, Etiopljani, bićete pobijeni mačem mojim. 13 I dignuće ruku svoju na sever, i zatrće Asirsku, i Nineviju će opusteti da bude suva kao pustinja. 14 I u njoj će ležati stada, svakojako zverje između naroda, i gem i ćuk noćivaće na dovratnicima njenim; glasom će pevati na prozorima; pustoš će biti na pragovima, jer će se poskidati kedrovina. 15 Takav će biti veseli grad, koji sedi bez brige, koji govori u srcu svom: Ja sam, i osim mene nema drugog. Kako opuste! Posta loža zverju! Ko god prođe mimo nj zviždaće i mahati rukom.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

And again he says, "The Lord will be terrible upon them, and will exterminate all the gods of the earth; and they shall worship Him every man from his place, even all the isles of the nations." And a little after he says, "Then will I turn to the people a tongue, …
