I will root out them that dwell at Ashdod, and him that holdeth the scepter of Ashkelon, and stretch out mine hand over Ekron, that the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,' sayeth the LORD.

The Lord changed His mind about this.
“It shall not be,” said the Lord.

The Lord changed His mind about this.
“This too shall not be,” said the Lord God.

The Lord has taken an oath by the pride of Jacob, Truly I will ever keep in mind all their works.

Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:

And if they be hid in the top of Carmel, From thence I search out, and have taken them, And if they be hid from Mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, From thence I command the serpent, And it hath bitten them.

And if they go into captivity before their enemies, From thence I command the sword, And it hath slain them, And I have set Mine eye on them for evil, And not for good.
