28 In the (A)year that King Ahaz died this [a](B)oracle came:

Judgment on Philistia

29 “Do not rejoice, O (C)Philistia, all of you,
Because the rod that (D)struck you is broken;
For from the serpent’s root a (E)viper will come out,
And its fruit will be a (F)flying serpent.
30 [b]Those who are most (G)helpless will eat,
And the needy will lie down in security;
I will [c]destroy your root with (H)famine,
And it will kill off your survivors.
