The people from Gaza will be sad and shave their heads.
    The people from Ashkelon will be silenced.
    Survivors from the valley, how long will you cut yourselves?[a]

“Sword of the Lord, you have not stopped.
    How long will you keep fighting?
Go back into your scabbard[b]!
    Stop! Be still!
But how can the sword of the Lord rest?
    The Lord gave it a command.
He commanded it to attack
    the city of Ashkelon and the seacoast.”
