to cut off from Tyre and Sidon any Philistine
who might have escaped to get help.
Yahweh will destroy the Philistines
and anyone who is left from the island of Crete.
5 Gaza will shave its head in mourning.
Ashkelon will be destroyed.
How long will you cut yourselves, you people left on the plains?

how long will you keep on fighting?
Go back into your scabbard.
Stay there and rest!”
