The land by the Mediterranean Sea, in which you live,
    will become pastures, fields for shepherds, and pens for sheep.
It will belong to the descendants of Judah who are left alive.
    There they will let their sheep eat grass.
At night they will sleep
    in the houses of Ashkelon.
The Lord their God will pay attention to them
    and will make their life good again.
