Behold, the Lord will impoverish her
        and destroy her power on the sea,
        while she will be devoured by fire.
Ashkelon will see it and fear.
    Gaza will writhe in pain
        as will Ekron because her hope will dry up.
    The king will perish from Gaza
        and Ashkelon will be uninhabited.
A mongrel people will live in Ashdod
    and I will cut off the Philistines’ pride.
