⁸ Their widows will be increased to Me more than the sand of the seas;
I will bring against them,
Against the mother of the young men,
A plunderer at noonday;
I will cause anguish and terror to fall on them ^(A)suddenly.

⁴ For ^(A)Gaza shall be forsaken,
And Ashkelon desolate;
They shall drive out Ashdod ^(B)at noonday,
And Ekron shall be uprooted.
