16 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “Here I am stretching out my hand against the Phi·lisʹtines,+ and I will cut off the Cherʹe·thites+ and will destroy the remaining inhabitants of the seacoast.+ 17 I will execute on them great acts of vengeance with furious punishments, and they will have to know that I am Jehovah when I bring my vengeance on them.”’”
