Zephaniah 2:5-15 Ho to the settlers of the sea boundary - the goyim of the Kerethiym! the word of Yah Veh is against you; O Kenaan, the land of the Peleshethiym: I even destroy you, without settler.

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Ho to the settlers of the sea boundary - the goyim of the Kerethiym! the word of Yah Veh is against you; O Kenaan, the land of the Peleshethiym: I even destroy you, without settler. ⁶ And the sea boundary becomes habitations of rest and meadows for tenders and walls for flocks: ⁷ and the boundary becomes for the survivors of the house of Yah Hudah to graze thereon: in the houses of Ashkelon they crouch in the evening: for Yah Veh their Elohim visits them and restores their captivity. ⁸ I hear the reproach of Moab and the revilings of the sons of Ammon - whereby they reproach my people, and greaten against their border: ⁹ so, I live - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El. Surely Moab is as Sedom and the sons of Ammon as Amorah - the possession of nettles and saltpits - an eternal desolation: the survivors of my people plunder them and the remnant of my goyim inherit them. ¹⁰ This is for their pomp, because they reproach and greaten against the people of Yah Veh Sabaoth. ¹¹ Yah Veh is awesome against them: for he emaciates all the elohim of the earth; and every man prostrates to him from his place - all the islands of the goyim. ¹² Also you, O Kushiym you, pierced by my sword. ¹³ And he spreads his hand against the north and destroys Ashshur; and sets Nineveh as a desolation and parches as a wilderness: ¹⁴ and droves crouch among her - all the live beings of the goyim: both the pelican and the bittern stay overnight in the upper lintels thereof; their voice sings in the windows; parch is in the thresholds: for he strips naked the cedar work ¹⁵ - this - the city of jumping for joy who settles confidently - who says in her heart, I - and there is no one beside me! How she becomes a desolation - a resting place for live beings! every one who passes by her hisses and wags his hand.
