    Ashkelon is silenced.
O remnant of Anakim![a]
    How long will you gash yourselves?(A)
6 Ah, sword of the Lord!
    How long until you are quiet?
Put yourself into your scabbard;
    rest and be still!(B)
7 How can it[b] be quiet,
    when the Lord has given it an order?
Against Ashkelon and against the seashore—
    there he has appointed it.(C)

    Ashkelon(B) will be silenced.
You remnant on the plain,

    how long till you rest?
Return to your sheath;
    cease and be still.’(E)
7 But how can it rest
    when the Lord has commanded it,
when he has ordered it
    to attack Ashkelon and the coast?”(F)
