Zephaniah 2:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ ·Come to [Seek] the Lord, all you who are ·not proud [humble; meek],
    who obey his ·laws [commands].
·Do what is right [Seek righteousness]. ·Learn [Seek] to be humble.
    Maybe you will ·escape [be protected; ^Lbe hidden]
on the day the Lord shows his anger.

⁴ ·No one will be left in the city of Gaza [^LGaza will be abandoned; ^CGaza sounds like Hebrew for “abandoned”; all four of these were cities in Philistia],
    and the city of Ashkelon will be ·destroyed [desolated; a heap of ruins].
Ashdod will be empty by noon,
    and the people of Ekron will be ·chased away [^Luprooted; ^CEkron sounds like Hebrew for “uprooted”].
⁵ ·How terrible it will be for [^LWoe to] you who live by the ·Mediterranean Sea [^Lsea],
    you ·Philistines [^Lnation of Cerethites; ^Ceither another name for the Philistines or a neighboring people group; the name suggests they came from the island of Crete; 2 Sam. 8:18; Ezek. 25:16]!
The word of the Lord is against you,
    Canaan, land of the Philistines.
