    (B)Ashkelon has perished.
O remnant of their valley,
    (C)how long will you gash yourselves?
(D)Ah, sword of the Lord!
    How long till you are quiet?
Put yourself into your scabbard;
    rest and be still!
How can it[a] be quiet
    (E)when the Lord has given it a charge?
Against (F)Ashkelon and against the seashore
    (G)he has appointed it.”
