Zephaniah 2:4-10

4For GazaH5804 shall beH1961 forsaken, and AshkelonH831 a desolationH8077; they shall driveH1644 out AshdodH795 at noonday, and EkronH6138 shall beH1961 rooted up. 5WoeH1945 unto the inhabitantsH3427 of the sea-coast, the nationH1471 of the Cherethites! The wordH1697 of Jehovah is against you, O CanaanH3667, the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430; I will destroyH6 thee, that there shall be no inhabitantH3427. 6And the sea-coast shall beH1961 pastures, with cottages for shepherdsH7462 and foldsH1448 for flocksH6629. 7And the coast shall beH1961 for the remnantH7611 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063; they shall feedH7462 their flocks thereupon; in the housesH1004 of AshkelonH831 shall they lieH7257 down in the eveningH6153; for Jehovah their GodH430 will visitH6485 them, and bringH7725 backH7725 their captivityH7622.

8I have heardH8085 the reproachH2781 of MoabH4124, and the revilings of the children of AmmonH5983, wherewith they have reproached my peopleH5971, and magnifiedH1431 themselves against their borderH1366. 9ThereforeH3651 as I live, saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Surely MoabH4124 shall beH1961 as SodomH5467, and the children of AmmonH5983 as GomorrahH6017, a possessionH5157 of nettlesH2738, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolationH8077: the residue of my peopleH5971 shall make a prey of them, and the remnantH7611 of my nationH1471 shall inheritH5157 them. 10This shall they have for their prideH1347, because they have reproached and magnifiedH1431 themselves against the peopleH5971 of Jehovah of hostsH6635.
