Zephaniah 2:4–5

Against Philistia

4 Gaza will be abandoned

and Ashkelon left in ruins.

At midday Ashdod will be emptied

and Ekron uprooted.

5 Woe to you who live by the sea,

O Kerethite people;

the word of the Lord is against you,

O Canaan, land of the Philistines.

“I will destroy you,

and none will be left.”
