An Oracle concerning Philistia

29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines,
    that the rod that struck you is broken,
for from the root of the snake will come forth an adder,
    and its fruit will be a flying fiery serpent.(B)
30 In my pastures the poor[a] will graze
    and the needy lie down in safety,
but I will make your root die of famine,
    and your remnant I[b] will kill.(C)
