A prophecy against the Philistines

28 This prophecy came in the year King Ahaz died:

29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines,
    that the rod that struck you is broken;
from the root of that snake will spring up a viper,
    its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent.

    and the needy will lie down in safety.
But your root I will destroy by famine;
    it will slay your survivors.
