6 For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you have clapped your hands(A) and stamped your feet, rejoicing with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel,(B)
Isaiah 14:29-31
New International Version
29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines,(A)
that the rod that struck you is broken;
from the root of that snake will spring up a viper,(B)
its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent.(C)

and the needy(D) will lie down in safety.(E)
But your root I will destroy by famine;(F)
it will slay(G) your survivors.(H)
Zechariah 9:5-8
New International Version
5 Ashkelon(A) will see it and fear;
Gaza will writhe in agony,
and Ekron too, for her hope will wither.
Gaza will lose her king
and Ashkelon will be deserted.
6 A mongrel people will occupy Ashdod,
and I will put an end(B) to the pride of the Philistines.
7 I will take the blood from their mouths,
the forbidden food from between their teeth.
Those who are left will belong to our God(C)
and become a clan in Judah,
and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.(D)
8 But I will encamp(E) at my temple
to guard it against marauding forces.(F)
Never again will an oppressor overrun my people,
for now I am keeping watch.(G)
Jeremiah 25:20
New International Version
20 and all the foreign people there; all the kings of Uz;(A) all the kings of the Philistines(B) (those of Ashkelon,(C) Gaza,(D) Ekron, and the people left at Ashdod);
Zephaniah 2:4-7
New International Version
Philistia
4 Gaza(A) will be abandoned
and Ashkelon(B) left in ruins.
At midday Ashdod will be emptied
and Ekron uprooted.
5 Woe to you who live by the sea,
you Kerethite(C) people;
the word of the Lord is against you,(D)
Canaan, land of the Philistines.
He says, “I will destroy you,
and none will be left.”(E)
6 The land by the sea will become pastures
having wells for shepherds
and pens for flocks.(F)
7 That land will belong
to the remnant(G) of the people of Judah;
there they will find pasture.
In the evening they will lie down
in the houses of Ashkelon.
The Lord their God will care for them;
he will restore their fortunes.[a](H)

4 “Now what have you against me, Tyre and Sidon(A) and all you regions of Philistia?(B) Are you repaying me for something I have done? If you are paying me back, I will swiftly and speedily return on your own heads what you have done.(C) 5 For you took my silver and my gold and carried off my finest treasures to your temples.[a](D) 6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks,(E) that you might send them far from their homeland.
7 “See, I am going to rouse them out of the places to which you sold them,(F) and I will return(G) on your own heads what you have done. 8 I will sell your sons(H) and daughters to the people of Judah,(I) and they will sell them to the Sabeans,(J) a nation far away.” The Lord has spoken.(K)
9 Proclaim this among the nations:
Prepare for war!(L)
Rouse the warriors!(M)
Let all the fighting men draw near and attack.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords
and your pruning hooks(N) into spears.(O)
Let the weakling(P) say,
“I am strong!”(Q)
11 Come quickly, all you nations from every side,
and assemble(R) there.
Bring down your warriors,(S) Lord!
12 “Let the nations be roused;
let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat,(T)
for there I will sit
to judge(U) all the nations on every side.

Come, trample the grapes,(X)
for the winepress(Y) is full
and the vats overflow—
so great is their wickedness!”
14 Multitudes,(Z) multitudes
in the valley(AA) of decision!
For the day of the Lord(AB) is near
in the valley of decision.(AC)
15 The sun and moon will be darkened,
and the stars no longer shine.(AD)
16 The Lord will roar(AE) from Zion
and thunder from Jerusalem;(AF)
the earth and the heavens will tremble.(AG)
But the Lord will be a refuge(AH) for his people,
a stronghold(AI) for the people of Israel.

17 “Then you will know(AJ) that I, the Lord your God,(AK)
dwell in Zion,(AL) my holy hill.(AM)
Jerusalem will be holy;(AN)
never again will foreigners invade her.(AO)
18 “In that day the mountains will drip new wine,(AP)
and the hills will flow with milk;(AQ)
all the ravines of Judah will run with water.(AR)
A fountain will flow out of the Lord’s house(AS)
and will water the valley of acacias.[b](AT)
19 But Egypt(AU) will be desolate,
Edom(AV) a desert waste,
because of violence(AW) done to the people of Judah,
in whose land they shed innocent blood.
20 Judah will be inhabited forever(AX)
and Jerusalem through all generations.
21 Shall I leave their innocent blood unavenged?(AY)
No, I will not.(AZ)”
The Lord dwells in Zion!(BA)
Jeremiah 47
New International Version
A Message About the Philistines
47 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines(A) before Pharaoh attacked Gaza:(B)
2 This is what the Lord says:
“See how the waters are rising in the north;(C)
they will become an overflowing torrent.
They will overflow the land and everything in it,
the towns and those who live in them.
The people will cry out;
all who dwell in the land will wail(D)
3 at the sound of the hooves of galloping steeds,
at the noise of enemy chariots(E)
and the rumble of their wheels.
Parents will not turn to help their children;
their hands will hang limp.(F)
4 For the day has come
to destroy all the Philistines
and to remove all survivors
who could help Tyre(G) and Sidon.(H)
The Lord is about to destroy the Philistines,(I)
the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.[a](J)
5 Gaza will shave(K) her head in mourning;
Ashkelon(L) will be silenced.
You remnant on the plain,
how long will you cut(M) yourselves?
