For Jehovah is spoiling the Philistines, The remnant of the isle of Caphtor. 5 Come hath baldness unto Gaza, Cut off hath been Ashkelon, O remnant of their valley, Till when dost thou cut thyself? 6 Ho, sword of Jehovah, till when art thou not quiet? Be removed unto thy sheath, rest and cease. 7 How shall it be quiet, And Jehovah hath given a charge to it, Against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? There hath He appointed it!'
