He will destroy (B)her power in the sea,
And she will be devoured by fire.

Ashkelon shall see it and fear;
Gaza also shall be very sorrowful;
And (C)Ekron, for He dried up her expectation.

And Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

“A[a] mixed race shall settle (D)in Ashdod,
And I will cut off the pride of the (E)Philistines.

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.
