“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.”
The seacoast shall belong to the remnant of the house of Judah; on it they shall pasture, and in the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down in the evening. For the LORD their God will care for them and restore their fortunes—the reversal-of-fortunes motif reaches its apex: Judah's enemies' land becomes Judah's possession. The intimate imagery of pasturing and evening rest establishes peace and security; the LORD's care replaces terror. Divine judgment serves Judah's salvation.
