Zephaniah

Zephaniah 2:6–7

⁶So the seacoast will become a land of pastures,

with wells^b for shepherds and folds for sheep.

⁷The coast will belong to the remnant of the house of Judah;

there they will find pasture.

They will lie down in the evening

among the houses of Ashkelon,

for the LORD their God will attend to them

and restore their captives.^c
