    “For three transgressions of Gaza, yes, for four,
    I will not turn away its punishment;

    and it will devour its palaces.
  3. 8I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod,

    says the Lord Yahweh.
  4. 9Yahweh says:
    “For three transgressions of Tyre, yes, for four,

    because they delivered up the whole community to Edom,
    and didn’t remember the brotherly covenant;
  5. 10but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre,
    and it will devour its palaces.”
