29 “Do not rejoice, Phi·lisʹti·a, any of you,

Just because the staff of the one striking you has been broken.

For from the root of the serpent+ will come a poisonous snake,+

And its offspring will be a flying fiery snake.*

 4 Because the day that is coming will destroy all the Phi·lisʹtines;+

It will cut off from Tyre+ and Siʹdon+ every remaining ally.

For Jehovah will destroy the Phi·lisʹtines,

Who are the remaining ones from the island of Caphʹtor.*+

O Caʹnaan, land of the Phi·lisʹtines, I will destroy you,

So that there will be no inhabitant left.

 6 An illegitimate son will settle in Ashʹdod,

And I will do away with the pride of the Phi·lisʹtine.+
