Zephaniah 2:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ How horrible it will be for those who live on the seacoast,
for the nation from Crete.
The Lord’s word 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.
⁷ The coast will belong to the faithful few from the nation of Judah.
There they will graze their sheep.
In the evening they will lie down in the houses of Ashkelon.
The Lord their God will take care of them
and will restore their fortunes.
