But the Lord will take away her possessions
    and destroy(A) her power on the sea,
    and she will be consumed by fire.(B)

    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.
