Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast,
The nation of the [a](A)Cherethites!
The word of Yahweh is (B)against you,
O (C)Canaan, land of the Philistines;
And I will (D)make you perish
So that there will be (E)no inhabitant.
So the seacoast will be (F)pastures,
With [b]caves for shepherds and folds for flocks.
And the coast will be
For the (G)remnant of the house of Judah;
They will (H)feed upon it.
In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening;
For Yahweh their God will (I)care for them
And (J)restore their fortune.
