The word of the Lord is against you,k
Canaan, land of the Philistines:
I will destroy you until there is no one left.l

with caves for shepherds and pens for sheep.

Gaza and Ashkelon will be abandoned,
Ashdod and Ekron torn down.
And what sorrow awaits you Philistines
who live along the coast and in the land of Canaan,
for this judgment is against you, too!
The Lord will destroy you
until not one of you is left.
The Philistine coast will become a wilderness pasture,
a place of shepherd camps
and enclosures for sheep and goats.
