Ezekiel 25:15-17

International Standard Version

A Message Condemning Philistia

¹⁵ “This is what the Lord God says: ‘Because Philistia has made it their practice to carry out retribution, accompanied by extraordinary malice in their personal vendettas—vendettas that spring from their everlasting hostility— ¹⁶ this is what the Lord God says: “Look out! I’m raising my clenched fist^[a] in Philistia’s direction. I’m going to execute^[b] the Cherethites^[c] and destroy what’s left of the coastline of the Mediterranean^[d] Sea. ¹⁷ I’ll take vengeance on them, punishing them severely in my anger. They’ll know that I am the Lord when I take my vengeance on them.”’”
