5The people of Gaza will shave their heads in mourning; Ashkelon will be silenced. O remnant of their valley, how long will you gash yourself?

6‘Alas, O sword of the LORD, how long until you rest? Return to your sheath; cease and be still!’

7How can it rest when the LORD has commanded it? He has appointed it against Ashkelon and the shore of its coastland.”
