Oracle of Judgment on Philistia

28 In the year of the death of king Ahaz there was this oracle:

29 You must not rejoice, all you Philistines,
    that the rod that struck you is broken,
for a viper will come forth from the root of the snake,
    and its fruit will be a flying serpent.
30 And the firstborn of the poor will graze,
    and the needy will lie down in security;

    and it will kill your remnant.
