4 For, as regards Gaʹza, an abandoned [city] is what she will become;+ and Ashʹke·lon is to be a desolate waste.+ As regards Ashʹdod,+ at high noon they will drive her out;+ and as regards Ekʹron, she will be uprooted.+

7 And I will remove his bloodstained things from his mouth and his disgusting things from between his teeth,+ and he himself also will certainly be left remaining for our God;* and he must become like a sheik*+ in Judah,+ and Ekʹron like the Jebʹu·site.+
