6. the Lord says:“For three transgressions of Gaza, yes, for four,I will not turn away its punishment;because they carried away captive the whole community,to deliver them up to Edom;
7. but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza,and it will devour its palaces.
8. I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod,and him who holds the sceptre from Ashkelon;and I will turn my hand against Ekron;and the remnant of the Philistines will perish,”says the Lord the Lord.
9. the Lord says:“For three transgressions of Tyre, yes, for four,I will not turn away its punishment;because they delivered up the whole community to Edom,and didn’t remember the brotherly covenant;
10. but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre,and it will devour its palaces.”
11. the Lord says:“For three transgressions of Edom, yes, for four,I will not turn away its punishment;because he pursued his brother with the sword,and cast off all pity,and his anger raged continually,and he kept his wrath forever;
12. but I will send a fire on Teman,and it will devour the palaces of Bozrah.”
13. the Lord says:“For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yes, for four,I will not turn away its punishment;because they have ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead,that they may enlarge their border.
14. But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah,and it will devour its palaces,with shouting in the day of battle,with a storm in the day of the whirlwind;
15. and their king will go into captivity,he and his princes together,”says the Lord.
