Listen! The Lord will impoverish her
and cast her wealth into the sea;
she herself will be consumed by fire.(A)
Ashkelon will see it and be afraid;
Gaza too, and will writhe in great pain,
as will Ekron, for her hope will fail.

and Ashkelon will become uninhabited.
A mongrel people will live in Ashdod,
and I will destroy the pride of the Philistines.(B)

    and destroy(A) her power on the sea,
    and she will be consumed by fire.(B)
Ashkelon(C) will see it and fear;
    Gaza will writhe in agony,
    and Ekron too, for her hope will wither.
Gaza will lose her king
    and Ashkelon will be deserted.
A mongrel people will occupy Ashdod,
    and I will put an end(D) to the pride of the Philistines.
