6 Thus, saith Yahweh, Because of three transgressions of Gaza, and because of four, will I not turn it back, Because of their taking into exile the whole body of exiles, to deliver to Edom,

7 Therefore will I send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof;

8 And I will cut off the inhabitant out of Ashdod, and the holder of the sceptre out of Ashkelon, and will turn my hand against Ekron, So shall perish the remnant of the Philistines, saith My Lord, Yahweh.
