(A)But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza,
Which shall devour its palaces.
I will cut off the inhabitant (B)from Ashdod,
And the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will (C)turn My hand against Ekron,
And (D)the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
Says the Lord God.

Thus says the Lord:

“For three transgressions of (E)Tyre, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom,
And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.

I will send fire on the walls of Gaza
    that will consume her fortresses.
I will destroy the king[a] of Ashdod(A)
    and the one who holds the scepter in Ashkelon.
I will turn my hand(B) against Ekron,
    till the last of the Philistines(C) are dead,”(D)
says the Sovereign Lord.(E)

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Tyre,(F)
    even for four, I will not relent.(G)
Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom,
    disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,(H)
