29 Rejoice not, (thou whole [a]Philistia) because the rod of him that did beat thee is broken: for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a cockatrice, and the fruit thereof shall be a fiery flying serpent.

30 For the [b]first born of the poor shall be fed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and [c]it shall slay thy remnant.

31 Howl, O gate, cry, O city: thou whole land of Philistia art dissolved, for there shall come from the [d]North a smoke, and none shall be [e]alone, at his time appointed.
