Jeremiah 47
New King James Version
Judgment on Philistia
47 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet (A)against the Philistines, (B)before Pharaoh attacked Gaza.
2 Thus says the Lord:
“Behold, (C)waters rise (D)out of the north,
And shall be an overflowing flood;
They shall overflow the land and all that is in it,
The city and those who dwell within;
Then the men shall cry,
And all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.
3 At the (E)noise of the stamping hooves of his strong horses,
At the rushing of his chariots,
At the rumbling of his wheels,
The fathers will not look back for their children,
[a]Lacking courage,
4 Because of the day that comes to plunder all the (F)Philistines,
To cut off from (G)Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains;
For the Lord shall plunder the Philistines,
(H)The remnant of the country of (I)Caphtor.[b]
5 (J)Baldness has come upon Gaza,
(K)Ashkelon is cut off
With the remnant of their valley.
How long will you cut yourself?
6 “O you (L)sword of the Lord,
How long until you are quiet?
Put yourself up into your scabbard,
Rest and be still!
7 How can [c]it be quiet,
Seeing the Lord has (M)given it a charge
Against Ashkelon and against the seashore?
There He has (N)appointed it.”

Zechariah 9:5-7
New King James Version
5 Ashkelon shall see it and fear;
Gaza also shall be very sorrowful;
And (A)Ekron, for He dried up her expectation.
The king shall perish from Gaza,
And Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6 “A[a] mixed race shall settle (B)in Ashdod,
And I will cut off the pride of the (C)Philistines.
7 I will take away the blood from his mouth,
And the abominations from between his teeth.
But he who remains, even he shall be for our God,
And shall be like a leader in Judah,
And Ekron like a Jebusite.

New King James Version
Judgment on Nations
4 For (A)Gaza shall be forsaken,
And Ashkelon desolate;
They shall drive out Ashdod (B)at noonday,
And Ekron shall be uprooted.
5 Woe to the inhabitants of (C)the seacoast,
The nation of the Cherethites!
The word of the Lord is against you,
O (D)Canaan, land of the Philistines:
“I will destroy you;
So there shall be no inhabitant.”
6 The seacoast shall be pastures,
With [a]shelters for shepherds (E)and folds for flocks.
7 The coast shall be for (F)the remnant of the house of Judah;
They shall feed their flocks there;
In the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down at evening.
For the Lord their God will (G)intervene[b] for them,
And (H)return their captives.

Amos 1:6-8
New King James Version
6 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (A)Gaza, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they took captive the whole captivity
To deliver them up to Edom.
7 (B)But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza,
Which shall devour its palaces.
8 I will cut off the inhabitant (C)from Ashdod,
And the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will (D)turn My hand against Ekron,
And (E)the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
Says the Lord God.
Ezekiel 25:15-17
New King James Version
Proclamation Against Philistia
15 ‘Thus says the Lord God: (A)“Because (B)the Philistines dealt vengefully and took vengeance with [a]a spiteful heart, to destroy because of the [b]old hatred,” 16 therefore thus says the Lord God: (C)“I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the (D)Cherethites (E)and destroy the remnant of the seacoast. 17 I will (F)execute great vengeance on them with furious rebukes; (G)and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I lay My vengeance upon them.” ’ ”

Nehemiah 13:23-27
New King James Version
23 In those days I also saw Jews who (A)had married women of (B)Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab. 24 And half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod, and could not speak the language of Judah, but spoke according to the language of one or the other people.
25 So I (C)contended with them and [a]cursed them, struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them (D)swear by God, saying, “You shall not give your daughters as wives to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons or yourselves. 26 (E)Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, (F)who was beloved of his God; and God made him king over all Israel. (G)Nevertheless pagan women caused even him to sin. 27 Should we then hear of your doing all this great evil, (H)transgressing against our God by marrying pagan women?”
