Zephaniah 2:4–5

Philistia

4 Gazae will be abandoned

and Ashkelonf left in ruins.

At midday Ashdod will be emptied

and Ekron uprooted.

5 Woe to you who live by the sea,

you Kerethiteg people;

the word of the Lord is against you,h

Canaan, land of the Philistines.

He says, “I will destroy you,

and none will be left.”i
