6Thus says Yahweh,

“For three transgressions of aGaza and for four

I will not turn back its punishment

Because they took away into exile the whole community of exiles

To bdeliver it up to Edom.

7“So I will send fire upon the wall of Gaza,

And it will consume her citadels.

8“I will also cut off the inhabitant from aAshdod

And him who holds the scepter from bAshkelon;

I will even turn My hand against Ekron,

And the remnant of the cPhilistines will perish,”

Says Lord Yahweh.

This is what the Lord says:

“The people of Gaza have sinned again and again,

and I will not let them go unpunished!

They sent whole villages into exile,

selling them as slaves to Edom.

So I will send down fire on the walls of Gaza,

and all its fortresses will be destroyed.

I will slaughter the people of Ashdod

and destroy the king of Ashkelon.

Then I will turn to attack Ekron,

and the few Philistines still left will be killed,”

says the Sovereign Lord.
