6 You live in the land by the Mediterranean Sea.
It will be a place for shepherds and sheep.
7 Your land will belong to the descendants of Judah who are left alive.
There they will let their sheep eat grass.

in the houses of Ashkelon.
The Lord their God will come to be with them.
He will give them back their riches.
