Zephaniah 2:4

4 (A)For Gaza shall be deserted,
and Ashkelon shall become a desolation;
Ashdod's people shall be driven out at noon,
and Ekron shall be uprooted.
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.

Amos 1:6-8
English Standard Version
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.
Jeremiah 47
English Standard Version
Judgment on the Philistines
47 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet (A)concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck down (B)Gaza.
2 “Thus says the Lord:
(C)Behold, waters are rising (D)out of the north,
(E)and shall become an overflowing torrent;
they shall overflow (F)the land and all that fills it,
the city and those who dwell in it.
Men shall cry out,
and every inhabitant of the land shall wail.
3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his stallions,
(G)at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of their wheels,
the fathers (H)look not back to their children,
so feeble are their hands,
4 because of the day that is coming to destroy
all (I)the Philistines,
to cut off from (J)Tyre and Sidon
every helper that remains.
For the Lord is destroying the Philistines,
(K)the remnant of the coastland of (L)Caphtor.
5 (M)Baldness has come upon Gaza;
(N)Ashkelon has perished.
O remnant of their valley,
(O)how long will you gash yourselves?
6 (P)Ah, sword of the Lord!
How long till you are quiet?
Put yourself into your scabbard;
rest and be still!
7 How can it[a] be quiet
(Q)when the Lord has given it a charge?
Against (R)Ashkelon and against the seashore
(S)he has appointed it.”

(G)Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon them.”
