(A)Baldness has come upon Gaza,
(B)Ashkelon is cut off
With the remnant of their valley.
How long will you cut yourself?

“O you (C)sword of the Lord,
How long until you are quiet?
Put yourself up into your scabbard,
Rest and be still!
How can [a]it be quiet,
Seeing the Lord has (D)given it a charge
Against Ashkelon and against the seashore?
There He has (E)appointed it.”
