⁷ So I will send fire on the wall of Gaza
And it will consume her citadels.
⁸ I will also eliminate every inhabitant from Ashdod,
As well as him who holds the scepter, from Ashkelon;
And I will direct My ^[a]power against Ekron,
And the remnant of the Philistines will perish,”
Says the Lord ^[b]God.

⁴ For Gaza will be abandoned,
And Ashkelon will become a desolation;
The inhabitants of Ashdod will be driven out at noon,
And Ekron will be uprooted.

⁷ And the coast will be
For the remnant of the house of Judah,
They will drive sheep to pasture on it.
In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening;
For the Lord their God will care for them
And restore their fortunes.
