Zechariah 9:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear, and Gaza also shall be very sorrowful, and Ekron: for her countenance shall be ashamed, and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6 And the [a]stranger shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his [b]teeth: but he that remaineth, even he shall be for our God, and he shall be as a prince in Judah, but [c]Ekron shall be as a Jebusite.

Zechariah 9:5-7
New International Version
5 Ashkelon(A) will see it and fear;
Gaza will writhe in agony,
and Ekron too, for her hope will wither.
Gaza will lose her king
and Ashkelon will be deserted.
6 A mongrel people will occupy Ashdod,
and I will put an end(B) to the pride of the Philistines.
7 I will take the blood from their mouths,
the forbidden food from between their teeth.
Those who are left will belong to our God(C)
and become a clan in Judah,
and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.(D)
