Zephaniah 2:4-6
International Standard Version

The Coming Destruction of Philistine Cities

4 “For Gaza will be forsaken,[a]
    and Ashkelon deserted—
Ashdod will be emptied at high noon;
    even Ekron will be uprooted.[b]
5 Woe to those who live along the coast,
    the people of Philistia![c]
This message from the Lord is being spoken against you,
    Canaan, land of the Philistines:
        ‘I’ll destroy you until no one lives there!’
6 The Philistine[d] coast will become meadows
    for shepherds and sheep pens.
