The words about Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod and Ekron, and Canaan, the land of the Philistines
가사와 아스글론과 아스돗과 에그론과 블레셋 사람의 땅 가나안을 두고 이르는 말
Zephaniah 2:4–7: the text says, “For Gaza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation. They will drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron will be rooted up. Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! The LORD’s word is against you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines. I will destroy you until there is no inhabitant. The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks. The coast will be for the remnant of the house of Judah. They will find pasture. In the houses of Ashkelon, they will lie down in the evening, for the LORD, their God, will visit them and restore them.” WEB sets no quotation mark in these verses. The Korean Revised Version calls on Canaan at 2:5 before the LORD’s word (블레셋 사람의 땅 가나안아 여호와의 말이 너희를 치나니), and at 2:7 reads 그 사로잡힘을 돌이킬 것임이니라, will turn back their captivity, where WEB reads “restore them”.
