Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a viper, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
Seek from the book of the Lord, and read. Not one of these shall be missing, not one shall lack its mate. For His mouth has commanded, and His Spirit has gathered them.
Thus says the Lord: Behold, waters rise up out of the north and will be an overflowing flood, and will overflow the land, and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell in it. Then the men shall cry out and all the inhabitants of the land will howl
because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines and to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper that remains. For the Lord will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
