4

because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains; for Yahweh will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.

5

Baldness has come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing. You remnant of their valley, how long will you cut yourself?

"'You sword of Yahweh, how long will it be before you are quiet? Put yourself into your scabbard; rest, and be still.'

"How can you be quiet, since Yahweh has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there he has appointed it."
