5. "Baldness has come upon Gaza; Ashkelon has been ruined. O remnant of their valley, How long will you gash yourself?
6. "Ah, sword of the Lord, How long will you not be quiet? Withdraw into your sheath; Be at rest and stay still.
7. "How can it be quiet, When the Lord has given it an order? Against Ashkelon and against the seacoast- There He has assigned it."
