Zephaniah 2:5-7

5Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, The nation of the 12Cherethites! The word of the Lord is 3against you, O 4Canaan, land of the Philistines; And I will 5destroy you So that there will be 6no inhabitant.6So the seacoast will be 7pastures, With 8caves for shepherds and folds for flocks.7And the coast will be For the 9remnant of the house of Judah, They will 10pasture on it. In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening; For the Lord their God will 11care for them And 12restore their fortune.
