Zephaniah 2:4-7
4For 1Gaza will be abandoned And Ashkelon a desolation; 2Ashdod will be driven out at noon And 3Ekron will be uprooted.5Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, The nation of the 45Cherethites! The word of the Lord is 6against you, O 7Canaan, land of the Philistines; And I will 8destroy you So that there will be 9no inhabitant.6So the seacoast will be 10pastures, With 11caves for shepherds and folds for flocks.7And the coast will be For the 12remnant of the house of Judah, They will 13pasture on it. In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening; For the Lord their God will 14care for them And 15restore their fortune.
