Zephaniah 2:4-6

New International Version

⁴ Gaza^(A) will be abandoned
    and Ashkelon^(B) left in ruins.
At midday Ashdod will be emptied
    and Ekron uprooted.
⁵ Woe to you who live by the sea,
    you Kerethite^(C) people;
the word of the Lord is against you,^(D)
    Canaan, land of the Philistines.
He says, “I will destroy you,
    and none will be left.”^(E)
6 The land by the sea will become pastures
    having wells for shepherds
    and pens for flocks.^(F)
