6 The People of Philistia This is what the Lord says: “For the many crimes Gaza is doing, I will punish them. They sold all the people of one area as slaves to Edom.

7 So I will send a fire on the walls of Gaza. That fire will destroy the city’s strong towers.

8 I will destroy the king of the city of Ashdod. I will destroy the king of the city of Ashkelon. Then I will turn against the people of the city of Ekron. I will punish the Philistines until they are all dead,” says the Lord God.
