2 Also Hamath borders it,even Tyre and Sidon, cities that are very wise.
3 Tyre has built a rampart for herselfand stored up silver like it were dust,and even gold like it were mud in the streets.
4 The Lord will dispossess her of her possessionsand strike down her power in the sea,and she will be devoured with fire.
5 Ashkelon will observe this and fear;Gaza as well and will writhe in anguish;even Ekron, her hope will be confounded.The king of Gaza will perish,and no one will inhabit Ashkelon.
6 A mongrel people will dwell in Ashdod,and I will cut down the pride of Philistia.
7 I will take away the bloodshed from its mouth,and the abominations from between its teeth.Even it will be a remnant for our God.It will be like a tribe of a clan in Judah,and Ekron like the Jebusites.
8 Then I will make camp at My house with a garrison,so that no one can pass back and forth.And no oppressor will pass through them,for now I see with My eyes.
