[:en]Advice to the Jewish nation:
“Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the Lord’s anger” (v. 3)
The wrath of God was against the nations around Judah: Philistia, Moab, Ammon, Cush, and Assyria. God would punish their mistreatment of His people, their pride and their worship of false gods.[:]
