⁷ So I will send fire upon the wall of Gaza,
And it will consume her citadels.
⁸ I will also cut off the inhabitant from ^(A)Ashdod
And him who holds the scepter from ^(B)Ashkelon;
I will even turn My hand against Ekron,
And the remnant of the ^(C)Philistines will perish,”
Says Lord Yahweh.

⁵ Ashkelon will see it and be afraid.
Gaza too will writhe in great pain;
Also Ekron, for her hope has been put to shame.
Moreover, the king will perish from Gaza,
And Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
⁶ And those of illegitimate birth will inhabit ^(A)Ashdod,
And I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
⁷ And I will remove their blood from their mouth
And their detestable things from between their teeth.
Then they also will be a remnant for our God,
And be like a ^[a]clan in Judah,
And Ekron like a Jebusite.
