西番雅書2:5-7

2:5 住沿海之地的基利提族有禍了！迦南、非利士人之地啊，耶和華的話與你反對，說：我必毀滅你，以致無人居住。

2:6 沿海之地要變為草場，其上有牧人的住處和羊群的圈。

2:7 這地必為猶大家剩下的人所得；他們必在那裡牧放群羊，晚上必躺臥在亞實基倫的房屋中；因為耶和華─他們的上帝必眷顧他們，使他們被擄的人歸回。

Woe to you inhabitants of the seacoast,

you nation of the Cherethites!

 The word of the Lord is against you,

 O Canaan, land of the Philistines;

and I will destroy you until no inhabitant is left.

And you, O seacoast, shall be pastures,

with meadows for shepherds

and folds for flocks.

The seacoast shall become the possession

of the remnant of the house of Judah,

 on which they shall graze,

and in the houses of Ashkelon

they shall lie down at evening.

For the Lord their God will be mindful of them

and restore their fortunes.

    西番雅先知在此也預言被擄的猶大人將要歸回，這也讓我們藉由此感受上帝的救贖，祂必不永遠丟棄祂的子民，祂要他們悔改歸回祂面前！

    我們也要靠耶穌基督，回到上帝面前，這是祂永遠的拯救，也是唯一的拯救！
