| 3 | At the sound of the stomping hooves of his stallions, ⓙ the rumbling of his chariots, and the clatter of their wheels, ⓚ fathers will not turn back for their sons. They will be utterly helpless [1] | |
| 4 | on account of the day that is coming to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every remaining ally. ⓛ Indeed, the LORD is about to destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the coastland of Caphtor. [2] ⓜ | |
| 5 | Baldness ⓝ is coming to Gaza; Ashkelon will become silent. ⓐ Remnant of their valley, how long will you gash yourself? | |
