Zephaniah 2:4-15

For Gaza
<05804>
shall be forsaken
<05800> (8803)_,
and Ashkelon
<0831>
a desolation
<08077>_:
they shall drive out
<01644> (8762)
Ashdod
<0795>
at the noon day
<06672>_,
and Ekron
<06138>
shall be rooted up
<06131> (8735)_.
Woe
<01945>
unto the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the sea
<03220>
coast
<02256>_,
the nation
<01471>
of the Cherethites
<03774>_!
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] against you; O Canaan
<03667>_,
the land
<0776>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
I will even destroy
<06> (8689)
thee, that there shall be no inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
And the sea
<03220>
coast
<02256>
shall be dwellings
<05116>
[and] cottages
<03741>
for shepherds
<07462> (8802)_,
and folds
<01448>
for flocks
<06629>_.
And the coast
<02256>
shall be for the remnant
<07611>
of the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>_;
they shall feed
<07462> (8799)
thereupon: in the houses
<01004>
of Ashkelon
<0831>
shall they lie down
<07257> (8799)
in the evening
<06153>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>
shall visit
<06485> (8799)
them, and turn away
<07725> (8804)
their captivity
<07622> (8675) <07622>_.
{for the LORD: or, when, etc}
I have heard
<08085> (8804)
the reproach
<02781>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and the revilings
<01421>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
whereby they have reproached
<02778> (8765)
my people
<05971>_,
and magnified
<01431> (8686)
[themselves] against their border
<01366>_.
Therefore [as] I live
<02416>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Surely Moab
<04124>
shall be as Sodom
<05467>_,
and the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
as Gomorrah
<06017>_,
[even] the breeding
<04476>
of nettles
<02738>_,
and saltpits
<04379> <04417>_,
and a perpetual
<05704> <05769>
desolation
<08077>_:
the residue
<07611>
of my people
<05971>
shall spoil
<0962> (8799)
them, and the remnant
<03499>
of my people
<01471>
shall possess
<05157> (8799)
them.
This shall they have for their pride
<01347>_,
because they have reproached
<02778> (8765)
and magnified
<01431> (8686)
[themselves] against the people
<05971>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
The LORD
<03068>
[will be] terrible
<03372> (8737)
unto them: for he will famish
<07329> (8804)
all the gods
<0430>
of the earth
<0776>_;
and [men] shall worship
<07812> (8691)
him, every one
<0376>
from his place
<04725>_,
[even] all the isles
<0339>
of the heathen
<01471>_.
{famish: Heb. make lean}
Ye Ethiopians
<03569>
also, ye
<01992>
[shall be] slain
<02491>
by my sword
<02719>_.
And he will stretch out
<05186> (8799)
his hand
<03027>
against the north
<06828>_,
and destroy
<06> (8762)
Assyria
<0804>_;
and will make
<07760> (8799)
Nineveh
<05210>
a desolation
<08077>_,
[and] dry
<06723>
like a wilderness
<04057>_.
And flocks
<05739>
shall lie down
<07257> (8804)
in the midst
<08432>
of her, all the beasts
<02416>
of the nations
<01471>_:
both the cormorant
<06893>
and the bittern
<07090>
shall lodge
<03885> (8799)
in the upper lintels
<03730>
of it; [their] voice
<06963>
shall sing
<07891> (8787)
in the windows
<02474>_;
desolation
<02721>
[shall be] in the thresholds
<05592>_:
for he shall uncover
<06168> (8765)
the cedar work
<0731>_.
{cormorant: or, pelican} {upper...: or, knops, or, chapiters} {for...: or, when he hath uncovered}
This [is] the rejoicing
<05947>
city
<05892>
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
carelessly
<0983>_,
that said
<0559> (8802)
in her heart
<03824>_,
I [am], and [there is] none beside
<0657>
me: how is she become a desolation
<08047>_,
a place for beasts
<02416>
to lie down in
<04769>_!
every one that passeth by
<05674> (8802)
her shall hiss
<08319> (8799)_,
[and] wag
<05128> (8686)
his hand
<03027>_.
