Expanded Bible

5 ·The people from the city of Gaza will be sad and shave their heads [L Baldness will come to Gaza].
    The people from the city of Ashkelon will be made silent.
·Those left alive [Remnant] from the valley,
    how long will you ·cut [gash] yourselves [C a mourning ritual]?

6 “·You cry [L Ah], ‘Sword of the Lord,
    how long ·will you keep fighting [L before you rest]?
Return to your ·holder [sheath].
    Stop and be still.’
7 But how can his sword rest
    when the Lord has given it a command?
He has ·ordered [assigned] it
    to attack Ashkelon and the seacoast.”
