Zephaniah 2:4-7

4Then, the people who have lived in Gaza city and Ashkelon city will not be there. Enemies will also send away the people in Ashdod city at midday. And those enemies will destroy Ekron city.

5Terrible trouble will come to you people who came from Crete, you people who live beside the sea! The Lord has said this against you: I will kill all you Philistines who live in the land of Canaan! You will all die. So nobody will live there.

6By the sea, there will be houses for people who feed sheep. There will be safe places for their sheep.

7Those people in Judah who love God will live there, by the sea. They will have food there. They will lie down to sleep in Ashkelon city's houses. The Lord, their God, will be with them. He will stop their troubles.
