Zephaniah 2:4-6
International Standard Version
The Coming Destruction of Philistine Cities
4 “For Gaza will be forsaken,[a]
and Ashkelon deserted—
Ashdod will be emptied at high noon;
even Ekron will be uprooted.[b]
5 Woe to those who live along the coast,
the people of Philistia![c]
This message from the Lord is being spoken against you,
Canaan, land of the Philistines:
‘I’ll destroy you until no one lives there!’
6 The Philistine[d] coast will become meadows
for shepherds and sheep pens.
