5. Baldness is visited upon Gaza,Ashkelon is reduced to silence;Ashdod, remnant of their strength,how long will you gash yourself?
6. Ah! Sword of the Lord!When will you find rest?Return to your scabbard;stop, be still!
7. How can it find restwhen the Lord has commanded it?Against Ashkelon and the seacoast,there he has appointed it.
