2 Hamath also, which borders on it, Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise. 3 Tyre has built itself a rampart, and heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the dirt of the streets. 4 But now, the Lord will strip it of its possessions and hurl its wealth into the sea, and it shall be devoured by fire. 5 Ashkelon shall see it and be afraid; Gaza too, and shall writhe in anguish; Ekron also, because its hopes are withered. The king shall perish from Gaza; Ashkelon shall be uninhabited; 6 a mongrel people shall settle in Ashdod, and I will make an end of the pride of Philistia. 7 I will take away its blood from its mouth, and its abominations from between its teeth; it too shall be a remnant for our God; it shall be like a clan in Judah, and Ekron shall be like the Jebusites.
