Prophecy against Philistia
47 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the (A)Philistines, before Pharaoh [a]conquered (B)Gaza. 2 This is what the Lord says:
“Behold, waters are going to rise from (C)the north
And become an overflowing torrent,
And (D)overflow the land and everything that is in it,
The city and those who live in it;
And the people will (E)cry out,
And every inhabitant of the land will wail.
3 Because of the noise of the [b](F)galloping hoofs of his [c]stallions,
The roar of his chariots, and the rumbling of his wheels,
The fathers have not turned back for their children,
Because of the debility of their hands,
4 Because of the day that is coming
To (G)destroy all the Philistines,
To eliminate from (H)Tyre and Sidon
Every surviving ally;
For the Lord is going to destroy the Philistines,
The remnant of the coastland of (I)Caphtor.
5 (J)Baldness has come upon Gaza;
(K)Ashkelon has been destroyed.
Remnant of their valley,
How long will you (L)gash yourself?
6 Ah, (M)sword of the Lord,
How long will you not be quiet?
Withdraw into your sheath;
Rest and stay still.
7 How can [d]it be quiet,
When the Lord has (N)given it an order?
Against Ashkelon and against the sea shore—
There He has (O)summoned it.”

New American Standard Bible
Philistia
15 ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Because the Philistines have acted in (A)revenge, and have taken vengeance with malice in their souls to destroy with everlasting hostility,” 16 therefore this is what the Lord God says: “Behold, I am going to (B)reach out with My hand against the Philistines and eliminate the (C)Cherethites; and I will destroy the remnant of the seacoast. 17 I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they will (D)know that I am the Lord, when I inflict My vengeance on them.”’”

Joel 3:4-8
New American Standard Bible
4 Moreover, what are you to Me, (A)Tyre, Sidon, and all the regions of (B)Philistia? Are you repaying Me with retribution? But if you are showing Me retribution, swiftly and speedily I will (C)return your retribution on your head! 5 Since you have (D)taken My silver and My gold, brought My precious [a]treasures to your temples, 6 and sold the (E)sons of Judah and Jerusalem to the [b]Greeks in order to remove them far from their territory, 7 behold, I am going to (F)stir them up from the place where you have sold them, and return your retribution on your head. 8 I will also (G)sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the (H)Sabeans, to a distant nation,” for the Lord has spoken.

Amos 1:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 This is what the Lord says:
“For three offenses of (A)Gaza, and for four,
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they led into exile an entire population
To (B)turn them over to Edom.
7 So I will send fire on the wall of Gaza
And it will consume her citadels.
8 I will also eliminate every inhabitant from (C)Ashdod,
As well as him who holds the scepter, from (D)Ashkelon;
And I will direct My [a]power against Ekron,
And the remnant of the (E)Philistines will perish,”
Says the Lord [b]God.
Zephaniah 2:4-7
New American Standard Bible
4 For (A)Gaza will be abandoned,
And Ashkelon will become a desolation;
The inhabitants of (B)Ashdod will be driven out at noon,
And (C)Ekron will be uprooted.
5 Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast,
The nation of the [a](D)Cherethites!
The word of the Lord is (E)against you,
(F)Canaan, land of the Philistines;
And I will (G)eliminate you
So that there will be (H)no inhabitant.
6 So the seacoast will become (I)grazing places,
With pastures for shepherds and folds for flocks.
7 And the coast will be
For the (J)remnant of the house of Judah,
They will (K)drive sheep to pasture on it.
In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening;
For the Lord their God will (L)care for them
And (M)restore their fortunes.

Zechariah 9:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 Ashkelon will see it and be afraid.
Gaza too will writhe in great pain;
Also Ekron, because her hope has been ruined.
Moreover, the king will perish from Gaza,
And Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
6 And a people of mixed origins will live in (A)Ashdod,
And I will eliminate the pride of the Philistines.
7 And I will remove their blood from their mouth
And their detestable things from between their teeth.
Then they also will be a remnant for our God,
And be like a [a]clan in Judah,
And Ekron will be like a Jebusite.
