Zechariah 9:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 Ashkelon shall see it and be afraid;
Gaza, too, and shall writhe in anguish;
Ekron also, because its hopes are withered.
The king shall perish from Gaza;
Ashkelon shall be uninhabited;(A)
6 a mongrel people shall settle in Ashdod,
and I will make an end of the pride of Philistia.(B)
7 I will take away its blood from its mouth
and its abominations from between its teeth;
it, too, shall be a remnant for our God;
it shall be like a clan in Judah,
and Ekron shall be like the Jebusites.(C)
