4. Because of the day that comes to plunder all the Philistines,To cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains;For the Lord shall plunder the Philistines,The remnant of the country of Caphtor.
5. Baldness has come upon Gaza,Ashkelon is cut offWith the remnant of their valley.How long will you cut yourself?
6. “O you sword of the Lord,How long until you are quiet?Put yourself up into your scabbard,Rest and be still!
7. How can it be quiet,Seeing the Lord has given it a chargeAgainst Ashkelon and against the seashore?There He has appointed it.”
