4 because of the day that comes to destroy all the Palestinians, and to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remains: for the Lord will destroy the Palestinians, the remnant of the island of Caphtor.
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
6 O thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
7 How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord has given it a charge against Ashkelon and against the sea shore? there has he appointed it.
