Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast,
The nation of the [a](A)Cherethites!
The word of the Lord is (B)against you,
O (C)Canaan, land of the Philistines;
And I will (D)destroy you
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)pasture on it.
In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening;
For the Lord their God will (I)care for them
And (J)restore their fortune.
