5 Teško stanovnicima obale morske, narodu kretskome! Evo riječi Jahvine protivu vas: “Ja ću te poniziti, zemljo Filistejaca, uništit ću te, istrijebit ću sve tvoje stanovnike!

7 I taj kraj pripast će u dio Ostatku doma Judina; tu će oni izvoditi blago na pašu; uvečer se odmarati u kućama aškelonskim, jer će ih pohoditi Jahve, Bog njihov, i on će promijeniti sudbinu njihovu.
And it will belong [the] region to [the] remnant of [the] house of Judah on them they will graze! in [the] houses of Ashkelon in the evening they will lie down! for he will visit them Yahweh God their and he will turn back (captivity their. *Q(k)*)

9 “Zato, života mi moga!” - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama, Boga Izraelova: “Moab će postati kao Sodoma i sinovi Amonovi kao Gomora: polje obraslo koprivom, hrpa soli pustoš dovijeka. Ostatak moga naroda oplijenit će ih, preostatak moga naroda zaposjest će ih.”

10 To će biti cijena za njihovu oholost jer su se uznosili i rugali narodu Jahve nad Vojskama.
This [will belong] to them in place of pride their for they reproached and they magnified themselves on [the] people of Yahweh of hosts.
11 Za njih će Jahve biti strašan: kad uništi sve bogove zemaljske, pred njim će se pokloniti - svaki na svojoj zemlji - svi otoci naroda.

And they will lie down in [the] midst of it herds every animal of a nation both desert owl as well as hedgehog on capitals its they will spend [the] night a sound it will sing in the window desolation [will be] on the threshold for cedar-work he will lay bare.
15 To li je veseli grad koji je stolovao u miru, koji je u svom srcu govorio: “Ja, i jedino ja!” Gledaj! Postade razvalina, brlog zvjerinji! Svi koji pokraj njega prolaze zvižde i mašu rukama.
