I will bturn My hand against Ekron,
And cthe remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
Says the Lord God.

And cthe remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
Says the Lord God.
9 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of aTyre, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom,
And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
“For three transgressions of aTyre, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom,
And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
10 But I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre,
Which shall devour its palaces.”
Which shall devour its palaces.”
11 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of aEdom, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because he pursued his bbrother with the sword,
And cast off all pity;
His anger tore perpetually,
And he kept his wrath forever.

Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.”
Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.”
