For three transgressions of Gaza,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,^[a]
because they carried into exile entire communities,
    to hand them over to Edom.^(A)

¹¹ Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Edom,

    and kept his wrath^[c] forever.^(A)

⁹ Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Tyre,

⁵ Ashkelon shall see it and be afraid;
    Gaza, too, and shall writhe in anguish;
    Ekron also, because its hopes are withered.
The king shall perish from Gaza;
    Ashkelon shall be uninhabited;^(A)

⁵ Woe, inhabitants of the seacoast,
    you nation of the Cherethites!
The word of the Lord is against you,
    O Canaan, land of the Philistines,
    and I will destroy you until no inhabitant is left.^(B)
6 And you, O seacoast, shall be pastures,
    meadows for shepherds,
    and folds for flocks.^(C)
7 The seacoast shall become the possession
    of the remnant of the house of Judah,
    on which they shall pasture,
and in the houses of Ashkelon
    they shall lie down at evening.
For the Lord their God will be mindful of them
    and restore their fortunes.^(D)

³ Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Damascus,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,^[a]
because they have threshed Gilead
    with threshing sledges of iron.^(A)
