This is what the Lord says.
See, waters rise up out of the north,
and they will become an overflowing stream.
They will overflow the land and everything in it,
the cities and those who live there.
The people will cry out,
and everyone who lives in the land will wail
    at the sound of the stamping hoofs of his steeds,
    at the rumbling of his chariots,
    at the roar of his wheels.
Fathers will not turn back for their sons,
because their hands will hang limp,
on account of the day that is coming to destroy all the Philistines,
to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who survives.
For the Lord will destroy the Philistines,
the surviving remnant from the shores of Caphtor.[a]
