Judgment on Philistia

28 In the (A)year that King Ahaz died, this (B)pronouncement came:

29 “Do not rejoice, (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)winged serpent.
30 [a]Those who are most (G)helpless will eat,
And the poor will lie down in security;
I will kill your root with (H)famine,
And it will kill your survivors.
31 Wail, you (I)gate; cry, you city;
[b]Melt away, (J)Philistia, all of you!
For smoke comes from the (K)north,
And (L)there is no straggler in his ranks.
32 What answer will one give the (M)messengers of the nation?
That (N)the Lord has founded Zion,
And (O)the poor of His people will take refuge in it.”

An Oracle concerning Philistia

28 In the year that King Ahaz died this oracle came:(A)

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)
31 Wail, O gate; cry, O city;
    melt in fear, O Philistia, all of you!
For smoke comes out of the north,
    and there is no straggler in its ranks.(D)

32 What will one answer the messengers of the nation?
“The Lord has founded Zion,
    and the needy among his people
    will find refuge in her.”(E)
