And for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;

Because they carried away captive the whole captivity,

To deliver them up to Edom:

But I will send a lire on the wall of Gaza,

Which shall devour the palaces thereof:

And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod,

And him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon,

And I will turn mine hand against Ekron:

And the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord God.

 

Thus saith the Lord;

For three transgressions of Tyrus,

And for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;

Because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom,

And remembered not the brotherly covenant:

But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus,

Which shall devour the palaces thereof.

 

Thus saith the Lord;

For three transgressions of Edom,

And for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;

Because he did pursue his brother with the sword,
