8 I will cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod,
and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;

“For three transgressions of Tyre,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

and it shall devour her strongholds.”

and it shall devour the strongholds of Bozrah.”

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

with shouting on the day of battle,
with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;

he and his princes together,”
says the Lord.

the bones of the king of Edom.

and Moab shall die amid uproar,
amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;
3 I will cut off the ruler from its midst,
and will kill all its princes with him,”
says the Lord.

“For three transgressions of Judah,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

those after which their fathers walked.

and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.”
