Zephaniah 2:4-6

Modern English Version

⁴ For Gaza will be forsaken,
    and Ashkelon a desolation;
Ashdod will be driven out at noon,
    and Ekron will be uprooted.
⁵ Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast,
    the nation of Kerethites!
The word of the Lord is against you,
    O Canaan, land of the Philistines:
I will destroy you,
    so that there will be no inhabitant.
⁶ The seacoast will be pastures,
    with meadows for shepherds and folds for flocks.
