And I said, My lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these are.

Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew loving-kindness and mercies one to another,

and also on Hamath which bordereth thereon; on Tyre and Zidon, though she be very wise.

Behold, the Lord will take possession of her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gazah also, and she shall be greatly pained; Ekron also, for her expectation shall be put to shame: and the king shall perish from Gazah, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
