5 To you people of Philistiawho live along the coast,the Lord has this to say:“I am now your enemy,and I'll wipe you out!”
6 Your coast will be changedinto pasture landand sheep pens.
7 The Lord God hasn't forgottenthose survivors in Judah,and he will help them—his people will take your landto use for pasture.And when evening comes,they will restin houses at Ashkelon.
8-9 The Lord All-Powerful,the God of Israel, said:I've heard Moab and Ammoninsult my peopleand threaten their nation.And so, I swear by my very lifethat Moab and Ammon will end uplike Sodom and Gomorrah—covered with thorn bushesand salt pits for ever.Then my people who survivewill take their land.
10 This is how Moab and Ammonwill at last be repaidfor their pride—and for sneering at the nationthat belongs to me,the Lord All-Powerful.
11 I will fiercely attack.Then every god on this earthwill shrink to nothing,and everyone of every nationwill bow down to me,right where they are.
12 People of Ethiopia,the sword of the Lordwill slaughter you!
