I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon; and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines will perish," says the Lord Yahweh.

As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; Or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him.

Thus he showed me and behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.

Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down.
