|
|
|
# Rally yourselves together and gather
|
|
|
|

# before the decree takes effect

# that day passes like the chaff
|
|
|
|
The chaff is the insignificant part of the plant that the wind blows away. In a similar way, the day of judgment will pass quickly. AT: "that day passes as quickly as chaff blown by the wind" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])

|
# before the fierce anger of Yahweh's wrath comes upon you, before the day of the wrath of Yahweh comes upon you
|
|
|
|
The prophet repeats the same phrase almost exactly in order to emphasize how terrible Yahweh's judgment will be and the urgency with which the people must repent. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])
|
|
|
|
# Yahweh's wrath

# Seek Yahweh

Seeking Yahweh represents either 1) asking God for help or 2) thinking about God and obeying him. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# Seek righteousness. Seek humility
|
|
|
|
The abstract nouns "righteousness" and "humility" can be stated as actions. AT: "Try to do what is right and to be humble" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
|
|
|
|
# you will be protected in the day of Yahweh's wrath
