## Zephaniah 2:6 in Context (Verses 3–9 KJV)
 
 [3 ](/kjv/zephaniah/2/3) Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’s anger.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/zephaniah/2/4) ¶ For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/zephaniah/2/5) Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD *is* against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/zephaniah/2/6) And the sea coast shall be dwellings *and* cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/zephaniah/2/7) And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.*
 
 [8 ](/kjv/zephaniah/2/8) ¶ I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified *themselves* against their border.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/zephaniah/2/9) Therefore *as* I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, *even* the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.
