Woe to (A)you inhabitants of the seacoast,
    you nation of (B)the Cherethites!
(C)The word of the Lord is against you,
    (D)O Canaan, land of the Philistines;
    and I will destroy you (E)until no inhabitant is left.
(F)And you, O seacoast, (G)shall be pastures,
    with meadows[a] for shepherds
    and folds for flocks.
(H)The seacoast shall become the possession
    of (I)the remnant of the house of Judah,
    (J)on which they shall graze,
and in the houses of Ashkelon
    they shall lie down at evening.
For the Lord their God (K)will be mindful of them
    and (L)restore their fortunes.
