Zephaniah 2:5-7
Jubilee Bible 2000
5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the people of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Palestinians, I will cause thee to be destroyed until there shall be no inhabitant left.
6 And the sea coast shall be for dwellings and cottages for pastors, and sheepfolds.
7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon they shall sleep for the night; for the LORD their God shall visit them and return their captives.

Zephaniah 2:5-7
New International Version
5 Woe to you who live by the sea,
you Kerethite(A) people;
the word of the Lord is against you,(B)
Canaan, land of the Philistines.
He says, “I will destroy you,
and none will be left.”(C)
6 The land by the sea will become pastures
having wells for shepherds
and pens for flocks.(D)
7 That land will belong
to the remnant(E) of the people of Judah;
there they will find pasture.
In the evening they will lie down
in the houses of Ashkelon.
The Lord their God will care for them;
he will restore their fortunes.[a](F)
