Zechariah 9:5

Ashkelon will see and be afraid; Gaza will be in great anguish, as will Ekron, for her hope will have been dried up. ¹  Gaza will lose her king, and Ashkelon will no longer be inhabited.

Isa 14:29-31; Isa 20:5,6; Jer 47:1,4-7; Jer 51:8,9; Eze 25:15-17; Eze 26:15-21; Zep 2:4-7; Ac 8:26; Ro 5:5; Php 1:20; Re 18:9-17

¹ tn The present translation presupposes a Hiphil perfect of יָבֵשׁ (yavesh, “be dry”; cf. NRSV “are withered”) rather than the usually accepted Hiphil of בּוֹשׁ (bosh, “be ashamed”; cf. KJV, ASV), a sense that is less suitable with the removal of hope.
