A Pronouncement against Philistia

28 In the year that King Ahaz died this message[a] came:

29 “Don’t rejoice, all of you Philistines,
    that the rod that struck you is broken,
because from the snake’s root a viper will spring up,
    and its offspring[b] will be a darting, poisonous serpent.
30 The firstborn of the poor will find pasture,
    and the needy will lie down in safety;
but I’ll kill your root[c] by famine,
    and I’ll[d] execute your survivors.
