zephaniah 2:6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.

zephaniah 2:6 So the seacoast will be pastures, [With] caves for shepherds and folds for flocks.

6. dwellings and cottages for shepherds--rather, "dwellings with cisterns" (that is, water-tanks dug in the earth) for shepherds. Instead of a thick population and tillage, the region shall become a pasturage for nomad shepherds' flocks. The Hebrew for "dug cisterns," Ceroth, seems a play on sounds, alluding to their name Cherethites (Zep 2:5): Their land shall become what their national name implies, a land of cisterns. MAURER translates, "Feasts for shepherds' (flocks)," that is, one wide pasturage.

zephaniah 2:6 So the seacoast will be pastures, [With] caves for shepherds and folds for flocks.
