From Ashdod I will cut off the one enthroned
    and from Ashkelon the one who holds the scepter.
I will turn My hand against Ekron,
    and the remnant of the Philistines will perish,
    says the Lord God.

Thus says the Lord:

For three transgressions of Tyre,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they delivered up an entire deportation to Edom,
    and did not remember the covenant of kinship.
10 So I will send fire against the wall of Tyre,
    and it will devour its fortresses.

I will destroy the king[a] of Ashdod(A)
    and the one who holds the scepter in Ashkelon.
I will turn my hand(B) against Ekron,
    till the last of the Philistines(C) are dead,”(D)
says the Sovereign Lord.(E)

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Tyre,(F)
    even for four, I will not relent.(G)
Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom,
    disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,(H)
10 I will send fire on the walls of Tyre
    that will consume her fortresses.(I)
