all you humble of the land,
who do his just commands;
seek righteousness; seek humility;
perhaps you may be hidden
on the day of the anger of the Lord.

As we work our way through these prophets, with all their pronouncements of righteous judgment on the nations of the world, we also always find messages addressed to the faithful - to those who are not rebels against God. He does not give them(or us) a pass for bad behavior, but always calls on us to stay humble, do what is right, and trust God to do what is just. We are not to turn our fingers and point at everyone else, accusing and hoping they suffer. We are to set the example of patient obedience, seeking His will, and acknowledging His sovereignty.
