And I will destroy the one who sits on the throne in Ashdod. I will destroy the king who holds the scepter in Ashkelon. I will punish the people of Ekron.[a] Then the Philistines who are still left alive will die.” This is what the Lord God said.

Punishment for Phoenicia

This is what the Lord says: “I will definitely punish the people of Tyre[b] for the many crimes they did. They took an entire nation and sent them as slaves to Edom. They did not remember the agreement they had made with their brothers.[c] 10 So I will start a fire at the walls of Tyre that will destroy the high towers in Tyre.”
