²⁹ Rejoice not, ^(A)O Philistia, all of you,
    that ^(B)the rod that struck you is broken,
for from the serpent's root will come forth an adder,
    and its fruit will be a ^(C)flying fiery serpent.

Through a land of trouble and anguish,
    from where come the lioness and the lion,
    the adder and the ^(D)flying fiery serpent,
they carry their riches on the backs of donkeys,
    and their treasures on the humps of camels,
    to a people that cannot profit them.
