Zephaniah 2:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ Doom, inhabitants of the seacoast,
        nation of Cretans.
The Lord’s word is against you,
        Canaan, land of the Philistines.
I will exterminate you, leaving no inhabitant.
⁶ The seacoast will become pastureland,
        with wells for shepherds and pens for the flocks.
⁷ The coast will belong to the survivors from the house of Judah;
        they will pasture beside the sea;^[a]
            in the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down in the evening.
        The Lord their God will visit them and restore their possessions.
