Zephaniah 2:4-10

4For GazaH5804 shall be forsakenH5800, and AshkelonH831 a desolationH8077: they shall drive outH1644 AshdodH795 at the noon dayH6672, and EkronH6138 shall be rooted upH6131. 5WoeH1945 unto the inhabitantsH3427 of the seaH3220 coastH2256, the nationH1471 of the CherethitesH3774! the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 is against you; O CanaanH3667, the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, I will even destroyH6 thee, that there shall be no inhabitantH3427. 6And the seaH3220 coastH2256 shall be dwellingsH5116 and cottagesH3741 for shepherdsH7462, and foldsH1448 for flocksH6629. 7And the coastH2256 shall be for the remnantH7611 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063; they shall feedH7462 thereupon: in the housesH1004 of AshkelonH831 shall they lie downH7257 in the eveningH6153: for YhwhH3068 their GodH430 shall visitH6485 them, and turn awayH7725 their captivityH7622.1

8I have heardH8085 the reproachH2781 of MoabH4124, and the revilingsH1421 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, whereby they have reproachedH2778 my peopleH5971, and magnifiedH1431 themselves against their borderH1366. 9Therefore as I liveH2416, saithH5002 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Surely MoabH4124 shall be as SodomH5467, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 as GomorrahH6017, even the breedingH4476 of nettlesH2738, and saltpitsH4417H4379, and a perpetualH5769H5704 desolationH8077: the residueH7611 of my peopleH5971 shall spoilH962 them, and the remnantH3499 of my peopleH1471 shall possessH5157 them. 10This shall they have for their prideH1347, because they have reproachedH2778 and magnifiedH1431 themselves against the peopleH5971 of YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635.
