4. Now the Lord will punish Tyrewith poverty;he will sink its shipsand send it up in flames.
5. Both Ashkelon and Gazawill tremble with fear;Ekron will lose all hope.Gaza's king will be killed,and Ashkelon emptiedof its people.
6. A mob of half-breedswill settle in Ashdod,and the Lord himselfwill rob Philistia of pride.
7. No longer will the Philistineseat meat with blood in itor any unclean food.They will become partof the people of our Godfrom the tribe of Judah.And God will acceptthe people of Ekron,as he did the Jebusites.
