Zephaniah 2:5-6

5 Woe to ^ayou inhabitants of the seacoast,
you nation of ^bthe Cherethites!
^cThe word of the Lord is against you,
^dO Canaan, land of the Philistines;
and I will destroy you ^euntil no inhabitant is left.
6 ^fAnd you, O seacoast, ^gshall be pastures,
with meadows ^{▼▼Or caves} for shepherds
and folds for flocks.

Zephaniah 2:14-15

14 ⁱHerds shall lie down in her midst,
all kinds of beasts; ^{▼▼Hebrew beasts of every nation}
^keven the owl and the hedgehog ^{▼▼The identity of the animals rendered owl and hedgehog is uncertain}
shall lodge in her capitals;
a voice shall hoot in the window;
devastation will be on the threshold;
for ^mher cedar work will be laid bare.
15 This is the exultant city
ⁿthat lived securely,
that said in her heart,
“I am, and there is no one else.”
What a desolation she has become,
^oa lair for wild beasts!
^pEveryone who passes by her
hisses and ^qshakes his fist.
