Zechariah 9:5-7
English Standard Version
5 (A)Ashkelon shall see it, and be afraid;
Gaza too, and shall writhe in anguish;
Ekron also, because its hopes are confounded.
The king shall perish from Gaza;
Ashkelon shall be uninhabited;
6 (B)a mixed people[a] shall dwell in Ashdod,
and I will cut off the pride of Philistia.
7 I will take away (C)its blood from its mouth,
and (D)its abominations from between its teeth;
(E)it too shall be a remnant for our God;
it shall be like (F)a clan in Judah,
and Ekron shall be like the Jebusites.

and Ashkelon shall become a desolation;

and Ekron shall be uprooted.
5 Woe to (B)you inhabitants of the seacoast,
you nation of (C)the Cherethites!
(D)The word of the Lord is against you,
(E)O Canaan, land of the Philistines;
and I will destroy you (F)until no inhabitant is left.
6 (G)And you, O seacoast, (H)shall be pastures,
with meadows[a] for shepherds
and folds for flocks.
7 (I)The seacoast shall become the possession
of (J)the remnant of the house of Judah,
(K)on which they shall graze,
and in the houses of Ashkelon
they shall lie down at evening.
For the Lord their God (L)will be mindful of them
and (M)restore their fortunes.

6 Thus says the Lord:
(A)“For three transgressions of (B)Gaza,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because (C)they carried into exile a whole people
to deliver them up to Edom.
7 So I will send a fire upon the wall of (D)Gaza,
and it shall devour her strongholds.
8 I will cut off the inhabitants from (E)Ashdod,
and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will turn my hand against Ekron,
and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
says the Lord God.
