³     For they will hear the pounding hooves of the charging horses,
        the clatter of enemy chariots, and the rumbling of their wheels.
    Fathers will panic and abandon their children,
        their hands limp with fear.
⁴     For the time will come
        to destroy all the Philistines.
    She will find no help in Tyre and Sidon—
        these allies, too, will be cut off.
    The Eternal will destroy the Philistines,
        this remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.
⁵     The people of Gaza will shave their heads in mourning,
        for Ashkelon is no more.
    You who remain in the valley,
        how long will you cut yourselves in grief?
