4For 1GazaH5804 will be abandonedH5800, And AshkelonH831 will become a desolationH8077; The inhabitants of 2AshdodH795 will be drivenH1644 outH1644 at noonH6672, And 3EkronH6138 will be uprootedH6131.5WoeH1945 to the inhabitantsH3427 of the seacoastH3220H2256, The nationH1471 of the 45CherethitesH3774! The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 is 6againstH5921 you, 7CanaanH3667, landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430; And I will 8eliminateH6 you SoH4480 thatH4480 thereH369 willH369 beH369 9noH369 inhabitantH3427.6So the seacoastH3220H2256 will becomeH1961 10grazingH5116 placesH5116, With pasturesH3741 for shepherdsH7462 and foldsH1448 for flocksH6629.7And the coastH2256 will be For the 11remnantH7611 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, They will 12driveH7462 sheep toH7462 pastureH7462 on it. In the housesH1004 of AshkelonH831 they will lieH7257 downH7257 at eveningH6153; For the LordH3068 their GodH430 will 13careH6485 forH6485 them And 14restoreH7725 their fortunesH7622.

8“I have heardH8085 the 15tauntingH2781 of MoabH4124 And the 16abusiveH1421 speechH1421 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983, With whichH834 they have tauntedH2778 My peopleH5971 And 17boastedH1431 againstH5921 their territoryH1366.9ThereforeH3651, as I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, The GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “18MoabH4124 will assuredlyH3588 be like 19SodomH5467, And the sonsH1121 of 20AmmonH5983 like 21GomorrahH6017-- GroundH4476 overgrownH4476 with weedsH2738 and full of saltH4417 minesH4379, And a permanentH5769 desolationH8077. The remnantH7611 of My peopleH5971 will 22plunderH962 them, And the remainderH3499 of My nationH1471 will inheritH5157 them.” 10ThisH2088 they will have inH8478 returnH8478 forH8478 their 23arroganceH1347, becauseH3588 they have 24tauntedH2778 and boastedH1431 againstH5921 the peopleH5971 of the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.
