⁵ Woe to you inhabitants of the seacoast,
    you nation of the Cherethites.
This is the word of the Lord against you:
    “I will destroy you, land of the Philistines,
    until not a single inhabitant remains.”
⁶ The coastland of the Cretans
    will be reduced to pastures,
to grazing grounds for shepherds
    and folds for flocks.
⁷ And the coastland will become the possession
    of the remnant of the house of Judah.
They will pasture their flocks there,
    and when evening arrives
    they will lie down in the houses at Ashkelon.
For the Lord, their God, will be mindful of them
    and restore their fortunes.
