A Plea for Repentance (ZEP 2:1-3)

[2:1] Shameless nation, come to your senses

[2:2] before you are driven away like chaff blown by the wind, before the burning anger of the Lord comes upon you, before the day when he shows his fury.

[2:3] Turn to the Lord, all you humble people of the land, who obey his commands. Do what is right, and humble yourselves before the Lord. Perhaps you will escape punishment on the day when the Lord shows his anger.
