Judgment on Nations
And Ashkelon desolate;
They shall drive out Ashdod bat noonday,
And Ekron shall be uprooted.
The nation of the Cherethites!
The word of the Lord is against you,
O bCanaan, land of the Philistines:
“I will destroy you;
So there shall be no inhabitant.”
They shall feed their flocks there;
In the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down at evening.
For the Lord their God will bintervene for them,
And creturn their captives.
And bthe insults of the people of Ammon,
With which they have reproached My people,
And cmade arrogant threats against their borders.
Says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
“Surely aMoab shall be like Sodom,
And bthe people of Ammon like Gomorrah—
cOverrun1 with weeds and saltpits,
And a1 perpetual desolation.
The residue of My people shall plunder them,
And the remnant of My people shall possess them.”
