(A)Baldness has come upon Gaza;
(B)Ashkelon has been destroyed.
Remnant of their valley,
How long will you (C)gash yourself?
Ah, (D)sword of the Lord,
How long will you not be quiet?
Withdraw into your sheath;
Rest and stay still.
How can [a]it be quiet,
When the Lord has (E)given it an order?
Against Ashkelon and against the sea shore—
There He has (F)summoned it.”
