6Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of GazaH5804, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they carried away captiveH1540 the wholeH8003 captivityH1546, to deliver them upH5462 to EdomH123:1 7But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of GazaH5804, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof: 8And I will cut offH3772 the inhabitantH3427 from AshdodH795, and him that holdethH8551 the sceptreH7626 from AshkelonH831, and I will turnH7725 mine handH3027 against EkronH6138: and the remnantH7611 of the PhilistinesH6430 shall perishH6, saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069.
