The seacoast will become pastures,
with meadows for shepherds and folds for flocks.
The coast will belong to the remnant of the house of Judah,
    upon which they will graze.
    In the houses of Ashkelon
    they will lie down in the evening.

    and return them from captivity.

and the jeers of the children of Ammon,
    who taunted My people
and expanded on their border.
