Zechariah 9:4-6
English Standard Version
4 But behold, the Lord will strip her of her possessions
and strike down (A)her power on the sea,
and (B)she shall be devoured by fire.
5 (C)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 (D)a mixed people[a] shall dwell in Ashdod,
and I will cut off the pride of Philistia.
