5. Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the people of the Cherethites! the word of the Lord is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Palestinians, I will cause thee to be destroyed until there shall be no inhabitant left.
6. And the sea coast shall be for dwellings and cottages for pastors, and sheepfolds.
7. And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon they shall sleep for the night; for the Lord their God shall visit them and return their captives.
8. I have heard the reproaches of Moab, and the revilings of the sons of Ammon, by which they have dishonoured my people and magnified themselves over their border.
9. Therefore as I live, said the Lord of the hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom and the sons of Ammon as Gomorrah, even a field of nettles and saltpits and a perpetual desolation; the remnant of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my Gentiles shall inherit them.
10. This shall come upon them for their pride because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the Lord of the hosts.
11. The Lord shall be terrible against them for he will weaken all the gods of the earth; and each one from his place shall worship him, even all the isles of the Gentiles.
