Oracle Against Philistia
Isaiah 14:28-32
28
In the year that King Achaz died, this prophecy came:
29
Do not rejoice, P'leshet, any of you, that the rod which struck you is broken; for out of the snake's root will come a viper, and his offspring will be a flying fiery serpent.
30
While the firstborn of the poor graze and the needy lie down in safety, I will kill off your root with famine and slaughter the rest of you.
31
Howl, gate! Cry, city! Melt away, P'leshet, all of you! For a smoke is coming from the north, with not a straggler in its ranks.
32
And what is one to answer the messengers of the nation? That ADONAI founded Tziyon, and there the poor of his people will find refuge.
