The word of the LORD is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines: I will destroy you until there is no one left.The seacoast will become pasturelands with caves for shepherds and pens for sheep.The coastland will belong to the remnant of the house of Judah; they will find pasture there.

They will know that I am the LORD when I take my vengeance on them.’”

This is the word of the LORD that came to the prophet Jeremiah about the Philistines before Pharaoh defeated Gaza.This is what the LORD says: Look, water is rising from the north and becoming an overflowing wadi. It will overflow the land and everything in it, the cities and their inhabitants. The people will cry out, and every inhabitant of the land will wail.At the sound of the stomping hooves of his stallions, the rumbling of his chariots, and the clatter of their wheels, fathers will not turn back for their sons. They will be utterly helplesson account of the day that is coming to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every remaining ally. Indeed, the LORD is about to destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.Baldness is coming to Gaza; Ashkelon will become silent. Remnant of their valley, how long will you gash yourself?Oh, sword of the LORD! How long will you be restless? Go back to your sheath; be still; be silent!How can it rest when the LORD has given it a command? He has assigned it against Ashkelon and the shore of the sea.

There will cease to be a king in Gaza, and Ashkelon will become uninhabited.A mongrel people will live in Ashdod, and I will destroy the pride of the Philistines.I will remove the blood from their mouths and the abhorrent things from between their teeth. Then they too will become a remnant for our God; they will become like a clan in Judah and Ekron like the Jebusites.

And also: Tyre, Sidon, and all the territories of Philistia— what are you to me? Are you paying me back or trying to get even with me? I will quickly bring retribution on your heads.For you took my silver and gold and carried my finest treasures to your temples.You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks to remove them far from their own territory.Look, I am about to rouse them up from the place where you sold them; I will bring retribution on your heads.I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a distant nation, for the LORD has spoken.

The LORD says: I will not relent from punishing Gaza for three crimes, even four, because they exiled a whole community, handing them over to Edom.Therefore, I will send fire against the walls of Gaza, and it will consume its citadels.I will cut off the ruler from Ashdod, and the one who wields the scepter from Ashkelon. I will also turn my hand against Ekron, and the remainder of the Philistines will perish. The Lord GOD has spoken.
