29 “Do not be glad, O (A)Philistia, all of you,
Because the rod that (B)struck you is broken;
For from the serpent’s root a (C)viper will come out,
And its fruit will be a (D)flying fiery serpent.
30 [a]And the foremost (E)of the poor will eat,
And the needy will lie down in security;
I will put to death your root with (F)famine,
And it will kill off your remnant.
31 Wail, O (G)gate; cry, O city;
[b]Melt away, O (H)Philistia, all of you;
For smoke comes from the (I)north,
And (J)there is no straggler in his ranks.
