I will cut off the inhabitant (A)from Ashdod,
And the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will (B)turn My hand against Ekron,
And (C)the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
Says the Lord God.

Thus says the Lord:

“For three transgressions of (D)Tyre, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom,
And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
10 But I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre,
Which shall devour its palaces.”

And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord God.

Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:

10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof.

I will also eliminate every inhabitant from (A)Ashdod,
As well as him who holds the scepter, from (B)Ashkelon;
And I will direct My [a]power against Ekron,
And the remnant of the (C)Philistines will perish,”
Says the Lord [b]God.

This is what the Lord says:
“For three offenses of (D)Tyre, and for four,
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they turned an entire population over to Edom
And did not remember the covenant of [c](E)brotherhood.
10 So I will (F)send fire on the wall of Tyre,
And it will consume her citadels.”

Thus says the Lord:
