2 and on Hamath also, which borders on it, Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.
3 Tyre has built herself a rampartand heaped up silver like dust,and fine gold like the mud of the streets.
4 But behold, the Lord will strip her of her possessionsand strike down her power on the sea,and she 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 confounded.The king shall perish from Gaza;Ashkelon shall be uninhabited;
6 a mixed people shall dwell in Ashdod,and I will cut off 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.
8 Then I will encamp at my house as a guard, so that none shall march to and fro; no oppressor shall again march over them, for now I see with my own eyes.
