⁵ Gaza will shave^(A) her head in mourning;
    Ashkelon^(B) will be silenced.
You remnant on the plain,
    how long will you cut^(C) yourselves?

⁵ Ashkelon^(A) will see it and fear;
    Gaza will writhe in agony,
    and Ekron too, for her hope will wither.
Gaza will lose her king
    and Ashkelon will be deserted.
