Zephaniah 2:2-3

2 ^abefore the decree takes effect ^{▼▼Hebrew gives birth}
—before the day passes away ^clike chaff—
^dbefore there comes upon you
the burning anger of the Lord,
before there comes upon you
the day of the anger of the Lord.
3 ^eSeek the Lord, ^fall you humble of the land,
who do his just commands; ^{▼▼Or who carry out his judgment}
^hseek righteousness; seek humility;
ⁱperhaps ^jyou may be hidden
on the day of the anger of the Lord.
