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.
