But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.

Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.

Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
