3 Tyre has built herself a fortress;
|

5 Ashkelon will see it and be afraid;
|
||||
Gaza too, and will writhe in great pain,
|
||||
as will Ekron, for her hope will fail.
|
||||
There will cease to be a king in Gaza,
|
||||
and Ashkelon will become uninhabited.

|
||||
and the abhorrent things
|

from between their teeth.

|
||||
against those who march back and forth,
|
||||
and no oppressor will march against them again,
|
||||
for now I have seen with my own eyes.
