Baldness has come upon Gaza,
    Ashkelon is destroyed.
O remnant of their valley,
    how long[a] will you cut yourself with a blade?
Ah, sword of Yahweh,
    how long[b] will you not be quiet?

    when Yahweh has given an order to it?
Against Ashkelon and against the shore of the sea,
    there he has appointed it.”
