Zephaniah 2:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ Woe to you inhabitants of the seacoast,
    you nation of the Cher′ethites!
The word of the Lord is against you,
    O Canaan, land of the Philistines;
    and I will destroy you till no inhabitant is left.
⁶ And you, O seacoast, shall be pastures,
    meadows for shepherds
    and folds for flocks.
⁷ The seacoast shall become the possession
    of the remnant of the house of Judah,
    on which they shall pasture,
and in the houses of Ash′kelon
    they shall lie down at evening.
For the Lord their God will be mindful of them
    and restore their fortunes.
