² Eternal One: Do you see how the waters are rising in the north?
        They will become an overwhelming flood.
    They will flow across the land, covering everything—
        including the towns and the people who live there.
    Those people will cry out;
        those who live in that land will weep loudly,
³     For they will hear the pounding hooves of the charging horses,
        the clatter of enemy chariots, and the rumbling of their wheels.
    Fathers will panic and abandon their children,
        their hands limp with fear.
⁴     For the time will come
        to destroy all the Philistines.
    She will find no help in Tyre and Sidon—
        these allies, too, will be cut off.
    The Eternal will destroy the Philistines,
        this remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.
