Thus saith Hashem: Hinei, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the Ir, and them that dwell therein; then the adam shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.

At the noise of the stamping of the hooves of his mighty steeds, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the avot shall not look back to their banim for the limpness of their hands;

Because of the Yom HaBah for destroying all the Pelishtim (Philistines), and to cut off from Tzor and Tzidon every helper that remaineth; for Hashem will destroy the Pelishtim (Philistines), the remnant of the coast of Caphtor.

This is what the Lord says:

“See how the waters are rising in the north;(A)
    they will become an overflowing torrent.
They will overflow the land and everything in it,
    the towns and those who live in them.
The people will cry out;
    all who dwell in the land will wail(B)
at the sound of the hooves of galloping steeds,
    at the noise of enemy chariots(C)
    and the rumble of their wheels.
Parents will not turn to help their children;
    their hands will hang limp.(D)
For the day has come
    to destroy all the Philistines
and to remove all survivors
    who could help Tyre(E) and Sidon.(F)
The Lord is about to destroy the Philistines,(G)
    the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.[a](H)
