Ezekiel 25:15-17
New English Translation

A Prophecy Against Philistia

15 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘The Philistines[a] have exacted merciless revenge,[b] showing intense scorn[c] in their effort to destroy Judah[d] with unrelenting hostility.[e] 16 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Take note, I am about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines. I will kill[f] the Kerethites[g] and destroy those who remain on the seacoast. 17 I will exact great vengeance upon them with angry rebukes.[h] Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I exact my vengeance upon them.’”
