Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 2:1 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;
- B 2:2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Yahweh come upon you, before the day of Yahweh's anger come upon you.
  - C 2:3a Seek ye Yahweh, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment;
    - D 2:3b seek righteousness,
  - C' 2:3c seek meekness:
- B' 2:3d it may be ye shall be hid in the day of Yahweh's anger.
A' 2:4-5 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up. Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of Yahweh is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
