4. but I will send a fire into the house of Hazael,and it will devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.
5. I will break the bar of Damascus,and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven,and him who holds the scepter from the house of Eden;and the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir,”says the Lord.

7. but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza,and it will devour its palaces.
8. I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod,and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;and I will turn my hand against Ekron;and the remnant of the Philistines will perish,”says the Lord the Lord.
9. the Lord says:“For three transgressions of Tyre, yes, for four,I will not turn away its punishment;because they delivered up the whole community to Edom,and didn’t remember the brotherly covenant;
10. but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre,and it will devour its palaces.”
