3. Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth,Who have upheld His justice.Seek righteousness, seek humility.It may be that you will be hiddenIn the day of the Lord’s anger.
4. For Gaza shall be forsaken,And Ashkelon desolate;They shall drive out Ashdod at noonday,And Ekron shall be uprooted.
5. Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast,The nation of the Cherethites!The word of the Lord is against you,O Canaan, land of the Philistines:“I will destroy you;So there shall be no inhabitant.”
6. The seacoast shall be pastures,With shelters for shepherds and folds for flocks.
