Oracles against foreign nations

Gaza will certainly be abandoned;
        and Ashkelon destroyed.
Ashdod will be driven out at noon;
        Ekron will be uprooted.
Doom, inhabitants of the seacoast,
        nation of Cretans.
The Lord’s word is against you,
        Canaan, land of the Philistines.
I will exterminate you, leaving no inhabitant.
The seacoast will become pastureland,
        with wells for shepherds and pens for the flocks.
The coast will belong to the survivors from the house of Judah;
        they will pasture beside the sea;[a]
            in the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down in the evening.
        The Lord their God will visit them and restore their possessions.
