A Prophecy Against the Philistines

28 This oracle came during the year that King Ahaz died.

29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines,
that the rod that struck you is broken.
From the snake’s root a viper will slither out,
and from its egg a venomous flying serpent[a] will come.

and the needy will lie down in safety.
But I will kill your root with famine,
and even those of you who remain will be put to death.
