Zephaniah 2:4 - 2:7

For Gaza will be forsaken

And Ashkelon a desolation;

Ashdod will be driven out at noon,

And Ekron will be uprooted.

Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast,

The nation of the Cherethites!

The word of Yahweh is against you,

O Canaan, land of the Philistines;

And I will make you perish

So that there will be no inhabitant.

So the seacoast will be pastures,

With caves for shepherds and folds for flocks.

And the coast will be

For the remnant of the house of Judah;

They will feed upon it.

In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening;

For Yahweh their God will care for them

And restore their fortune.
