*
For Gaza shall be deserted ,
and Ash '
kelon shall become a desolation ;
Ashdod '
s people shall be driven out at noon ,
and Ekron shall be uprooted .
*
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 .
*
And you ,
O seacoast ,
shall be pastures ,
meadows for shepherds and folds for flocks .
*
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 .
