Zephaniah 2:4-7
Legacy Standard Bible
4 For (A)Gaza will be [a]forsaken
And Ashkelon a desolation;
(B)Ashdod will be driven out at noon,
And (C)Ekron will be uprooted.
5 Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast,
The nation of the [b](D)Cherethites!
The word of Yahweh is (E)against you,
O (F)Canaan, land of the Philistines;
And I will (G)make you perish
So that there will be (H)no inhabitant.
6 So the seacoast will be (I)pastures,
With [c]caves for shepherds and folds for flocks.
7 And the coast will be
For the (J)remnant of the house of Judah;
They will (K)feed upon it.
In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening;
For Yahweh their God will (L)care for them
And (M)restore their fortune.

American Standard Version
4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation; they shall drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up. 5 Woe unto the inhabitants of [a]the sea-coast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of Jehovah is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines; I will destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant. 6 And the sea-coast shall be pastures, with [b]cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks. 7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed their flocks thereupon; in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening; for Jehovah their God will visit them, and [c]bring back their captivity.
