         And it will consume her citadels.

8“I will also cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod,
         And him who holds the scepter, from Ashkelon;

         And the remnant of the Philistines will perish,”
         Says the Lord GOD.

9Thus says the LORD,

         And it will consume her citadels.”

11Thus says the LORD,
         “For three transgressions of Edom and for four

         His anger also tore continually,
         And he maintained his fury forever.

12“So I will send fire upon Teman
         And it will consume the citadels of Bozrah.”

13Thus says the LORD,
         “For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon and for four
         I will not revoke its punishment,
         Because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead
         In order to enlarge their borders.

14“So I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah
         And it will consume her citadels
         Amid war cries on the day of battle,
         And a storm on the day of tempest.

         He and his princes together,” says the LORD.
