6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
6 The land by the sea will become pastures having wells for shepherds and pens for flocks.
6 And you, O seacoast, shall be pastures, with meadows
6 The lands of the seafarers will become pastureland, A country for shepherds and sheep.
6 The seacoast shall be pastures, With shelters for shepherds and folds for flocks.
6 The Philistine coast will become a wilderness pasture, a place of shepherd camps and enclosures for sheep and goats.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Zephaniah 2:6
Commentary on Zephaniah 2:4-15
(Read Zephaniah 2:4-15)
Those are really in a woful condition who have the word of the Lord against them, for no word of his shall fall to the ground. God will restore his people to their rights, though long kept from them. It has been the common lot of God's people, in all ages, to be reproached and reviled. God shall be worshipped, not only by all Israel, and the strangers who join them, but by the heathen. Remote nations must be reckoned with for the wrongs done to God's people. The sufferings of the insolent and haughty in prosperity, are unpitied and unlamented. But all the desolations of flourishing nations will make way for the overturning Satan's kingdom. Let us improve our advantages, and expect the performance of every promise, praying that our Father's name may be hallowed every where, over all the earth.
