Baldness has come upon Gaza,
    Ash′kelon has perished.
O remnant of the Anakim,[a]
    how long will you gash yourselves?
Ah, sword of the Lord!
    How long till you are quiet?

How can it[b] be quiet,
    when the Lord has given it a charge?
Against Ash′kelon and against the seashore
    he has appointed it.”
