The seacoast will become pastureland,
        with wells for shepherds and pens for the flocks.
The coast will belong to the survivors from the house of Judah;
        they will pasture beside the sea;[a]
            in the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down in the evening.
        The Lord their God will visit them and restore their possessions.

        and the defamation of the Ammonites;
        they taunted my people
        and enlarged their borders.
