Jer 47:1, Amo 1:6-8, Zep 2:4-7, Zec 9:5-7 | ESV | STEP | The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines , before Pharaoh struck down Gaza .

6 Thus says the Lord:

^c“For three transgressions of ^dGaza,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because ^ethey carried into exile a whole people
to deliver them up to Edom.
7 So I will send a fire upon the wall of ^fGaza,
and it shall devour her strongholds.
8 I will cut off the inhabitants from ^gAshdod,
and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will turn my hand against Ekron,
and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”

says the Lord God.

Zephaniah 2:4-7

4 ^hFor Gaza shall be deserted,
and Ashkelon shall become a desolation;
Ashdod’s people shall be driven out at noon,
and Ekron shall be uprooted.
5 Woe to ⁱyou inhabitants of the seacoast,
you nation of ^jthe Cherethites!
^kThe word of the Lord is against you,
^lO Canaan, land of the Philistines;
and I will destroy you ^muntil no inhabitant is left.
6 ⁿAnd you, O seacoast, ^oshall be pastures,
with meadows ^{▼▼Or caves} for shepherds
and folds for flocks.
7 ^qThe seacoast shall become the possession
of ^rthe remnant of the house of Judah,
^son which they shall graze,
and in the houses of Ashkelon
they shall lie down at evening.
For the Lord their God ^twill be mindful of them
and ^urestore their fortunes.

Zechariah 9:5-7

5 ^vAshkelon shall see it, and be afraid;
Gaza too, and shall writhe in anguish;
Ekron also, because its hopes are confounded.
The king shall perish from Gaza;
Ashkelon shall be uninhabited;
6 ^wa mixed people ^{▼▼Or a foreign people; Hebrew a bastard} shall dwell in Ashdod,
and I will cut off the pride of Philistia.
7 I will take away ^yits blood from its mouth,
and ^zits abominations from between its teeth;
^aait too shall be a remnant for our God;
it shall be like ^aba clan in Judah,
and Ekron shall be like the Jebusites.
