Zephaniah 2:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds and sheepfolds.
7 And that coast shall be for the [a]remnant of the house of Judah, to feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they judge toward night: for the Lord their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the rebukes of the children of Ammon, whereby they upbraided my people, and [b]magnified themselves against their borders.

6 The land by the sea will become pastures
having wells for shepherds
and pens for flocks.(A)
