4 And also: Tyre,(A) Sidon, and all the territories of Philistia(B)—what are you to Me? Are you paying Me back or trying to get even with Me? I will quickly bring retribution on your heads.(C) 5 For you took My silver and gold and carried My finest treasures(D) to your temples. 6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks(E) to remove them far from their own territory. 7 Look, I am about to rouse them up from the place where you sold them;(F) I will bring retribution on your heads. 8 I will sell your sons and daughters into the hands of the people of Judah,(G) and they will sell them to the Sabeans,(a)(H) to a distant nation, for the Lord has spoken.
