Zephaniah 2:5 in Context — Zephaniah 2

3 Cherchez l’Éternel, vous tous, humbles du pays, Qui pratiquez ses ordonnances! Recherchez la justice, recherchez l’humilité! Peut-être serez-vous épargnés au jour de la colère de l’Éternel.

4 Car Gaza sera délaissée, Askalon sera réduite en désert, Asdod sera chassée en plein midi, Ékron sera déracinée.

5 Malheur aux habitants des côtes de la mer, à la nation des Kéréthiens! L’Éternel a parlé contre toi, Canaan, pays des Philistins! Je te détruirai, tu n’auras plus d’habitants.

6 Les côtes de la mer seront des pâturages, des demeures pour les bergers, Et des parcs pour les troupeaux.

7 Ces côtes seront pour les restes de la maison de Juda; C’est là qu’ils paîtront; Ils reposeront le soir dans les maisons d’Askalon; Car l’Éternel, leur Dieu, ne les oubliera pas, Et il ramènera leurs captifs.
