CKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

4 H5804 For Gaza H5800 shall be forsaken, H831 and Ashkelon H8077 a desolation: H1644 they shall drive out H795 Ashdod H6672 at the noon day, H6138 and Ekron H6131 shall be rooted up.

5 H1945 Woe H3427 unto the inhabitants H3220 of the sea H2256 coast, H1471 the nation H3774 of the Cherethites! H1697 the word H3068 of the Lord H3667 is against you; O Canaan, H776 the land H6430 of the Philistines, H6 I will even destroy H3427 you, that there shall be no inhabitant.

6 H3220 And the sea H2256 coast H5116 shall be dwellings H3741 and cottages H7462 for shepherds, H1448 and folds H6629 for flocks.

7 H2256 And the coast H7611 shall be for the remnant H1004 of the house H3063 of Judah; H7462 they shall feed H1004 thereupon: in the houses H831 of Ashkelon H7257 shall they lie down H6153 in the evening: H3068 for the Lord H430 their God H6485 shall visit H7725 them, and turn away H7622 their captivity.

8 H8085 I have heard H2781 the reproach H4124 of Moab, H1421 and the revilings H1121 of the sons H5983 of Ammon, H2778 by which they have reproached H5971 my people, H1431 and magnified H1366 themselves against their border.

9 H2416 Therefore as I live, H5002 says H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts, H430 the God H3478 of Israel, H4124 Surely Moab H5467 shall be as Sodom, H1121 and the sons H5983 of Ammon H6017 as Gomorrah, H4476 even the breeding H2738 of nettles, H4379 and saltpits, H5704 and a perpetual H8077 desolation: H7611 the residue H5971 of my people H962 shall plunder H3499 them, and the remnant H1471 of my people H5157 shall possess them.

10 H1347 This shall they have for their pride, H2778 because they have reproached H1431 and magnified H5971 themselves against the people H3068 of the Lord H6635 of hosts.

11 H3068 The Lord H3372 will be terrible H7329 unto them: for he will famish H430 all the gods H776 of the earth; H7812 and men shall worship H376 him, every one H4725 from his place, H339 even all the islands H1471 of the heathen.

12 H3569 You Ethiopians H1992 also, you H2491 shall be slain H2719 by my sword.

13 H5186 And he will stretch out H3027 his hand H6828 against the north, H6 and destroy H804 Assyria; H7760 and will make H5210 Nineveh H8077 a desolation, H6723 and dry H4057 like a wilderness.

14 H5739 And flocks H7257 shall lie down H8432 in the midst H2416 of her, all the animals H1471 of the nations: H6893 both the pelican H7090 and the bittern H3885 shall lodge H3730 in the upper lintels H6963 of it; their voice H7891 shall sing H2474 in the windows; H2721 desolation H5592 shall be in the thresholds: H6168 for he shall uncover H731 the cedar work.

15 H5947 This is the rejoicing H5892 city H3427 that lived H983 carelessly, H559 that said H3824 in her heart, H657 I am, and there is none beside H8047 me: how is she become a desolation, H2416 a place for animals H4769 to lie down in! H5674 every one that passes by H8319 her shall hiss, H5128 and wag H3027 his hand.
