The II. Chapter.
COme together and gather you, O ye [ A] frauwerde people: or ye thinge go forth that is concluded, & or the tyme be pas∣sed awaye as the dust: or the fearfull wrath of the LORDE come vpon you, yee or the daye of the LORDES sore displeasure come vpon you. Seke the LORDE all yee meke harted v∣pon earth, ye that worke after his iudgmēt: seke rightuousnesse, seke lowlynesse: that ye maye be defended in the wrothfull daye of yeLORDE. For Gaza shal be destroyed, & Asca∣lon shall be layed waist: They shal cast out Aszdod at the noone daye, and Accaron shal be pluckte vp by the rotes.
Wo vnto you yt dwel vpon the see coost, ye murthurous people: the worde of yeLOR¦DE shal come vpon you. O Canaan thou lon¦de of the Philistynes, I wil destroye the, so that there shal no man dwel in the eny more: & as for the see coost, it shal be hyrdmens co∣tages & shepe foldes: yee it shalbe a porcion for soch as remayne of the house of Iuda, to fede ther vpon. In ye houses of Ascalon shal they rest towarde night: for the LORDE their God shal vyset thē, & turne awaye their cap¦tyuite. I haue herde the despite of Moab, & [ B] the blasphemies of the children of Ammon: how they haue shamefully intreated my peo¦ple, and magnified them selues within the borders of their londe. Therfore as truly as I lyue (saieth the LORDE of hoostes the God of Israel) Moab shalbe as Sodome, &

Ammon as Gomorra: euen drie thorne hed∣ges, salt pittes and a perpetuall wyldernes. The residue of my folke shall spoyle them the remnaunt of my people shall haue them in possession. This shal happen vnto them for their pryde, because they haue dealte so shamefully with the LORDE of hoostes peo∣ple, and magnified them selues aboue them. The LORDE shall be grymme vpon them, and destroye all the goddes in the londe. And all the Iles of the Heithen shal worshi¦pe him, euery man in his place.
[ C] Ye Moriās also shal perish with my swer¦de: Yee he shall stretch out his honde ouer the north, and destroye Assur. As for Nini∣ue, he shal make it desolate, drye and waist. The flockes and all the beastes of the peo∣ple shall lye in the myddest of it, pellicanes and storckes shall abyde in the vpper postes of it, foules shal synge in the wyndowes, and rauens shal syt vpon the balckes, for the bor¦des of Cedre shalbe ryuē downe. This is the proude and carelesse cite, that sayde in hir herte: I am, and there is els none. O how is she made so waist, yt the beestes lye therin? Who so goeth by, mocketh her, and poyn∣teth at her with his fynger.
