A Prophecy Against the Philistines

28 This prophecy came to me from the Lord in the year King Ahaz died. The Lord said,

29 “The rod of Assyria has struck all of you Philistines.
    But do not be glad that it is broken.
That rod is like a snake that will produce an even more poisonous snake.
    It will produce a darting, poisonous serpent.

But I will destroy your families.
    They will die of hunger.
    I will kill any of them who are still left alive.
