6. Thus says the Lord:“For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four,I will not turn away its punishment,Because they took captive the whole captivityTo deliver them up to Edom.
7. But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza,Which shall devour its palaces.
8. I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod,And the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;I will turn My hand against Ekron,And the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”Says the Lord God.
9. Thus says the Lord:“For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four,I will not turn away its punishment,Because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom,And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
