4 For Gaza (the strong) will be abandoned, and Ashkelon (the fire of infamy) left in ruins. Ashdod (powerful) will be driven out at noon, and Ekron (torn up by the roots) will be uprooted.

5 Woe to the dwellers of the seacoast, O nation of the Cherethites (executioners)! The word of the LORD {YHWH} is against you⁺, O Canaan (lowland), land of the Philistines (immigrants): “I will destroy you, and no one will be left.”
