So says the Lord Jehovah: Because the Philistines have acted in vengeance and have taken vengeance with spite in their soul, to destroy with perpetual enmity;
and Zabad, his son; and Shuthelah, his son; and Ezer, and Elead, and the men of Gath, natives in the land, killed them, because they came down to take away their cattle.
And the Philistines had raided against the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and captured Bethshemesh and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho and its daughter villages, and Timnah and its daughter villages, and Gimzo and its daughter villages, and dwelt there.
Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with all the mouth. In all this His anger does not turn back, but His hand is still stretched out.
and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,
For so says the Lord Jehovah: Because you have clapped the hand, and you stamped the foot, and rejoiced with all your spite in your soul against the land of Israel;
Because there was to you never-ending enmity, and you poured out the sons of Israel onto the hands of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end.
