Zephaniah 2:4-6

Names of God Bible

⁴ Gaza will be deserted,
    and Ashkelon will be destroyed.
    Ashdod will be driven out at noon,
    and Ekron will be torn out by the roots.
⁵ How horrible it will be for those who live on the seacoast,
    for the nation from Crete.
    The word of Yahweh is against you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines:
    “I will destroy you so that no one will be living there.”
⁶ The seacoast will become pastureland
    with meadows for shepherds
        and fenced-off places for sheep.
