A mongrel people[a] will dwell in Ashdod,
    and I will cut down the pride of the Philistines.
I will remove its[b] blood from its[c] mouth,
    and its[d] abominations from between its[e] teeth.
And it[f] too will be a remnant for our God;
    and it[g] will be like a tribal chief[h] in Judah,
    and Ekron will be like the Jebusite.

    against those crossing through and returning;
no oppressor will cross through them again,
    for now I have seen with my own eyes.
