The seacoast will be pastures,
    with meadows for shepherds and folds for flocks.
The coast will be for the remnant of the house of Judah,
    on which they will feed.
In the houses of Ashkelon
    they will lie down at evening.

    and the revilings of the Ammonites,
by which they have reproached My people,
    and made boasts against their territory.
