A Prophecy Against Philistia
25:15“This is what the sovereign Lord says: ‘The Philistines23 have exacted merciless revenge,24 showing intense scorn25 in their effort to destroy Judah26 with unrelenting hostility.2725:16So this is what the sovereign Lord says: Take note, I am about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines. I will kill28 the Cherethites29 and destroy those who remain on the seacoast. 25:17I will exact great vengeance upon them with angry rebukes.30 Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I exact my vengeance upon them.’ ”
Footnotes
- 23 The Philistines inhabited the coastal plain by the Mediterranean Sea, west of Judah.
- 24 Heb “have acted with vengeance and taken vengeance with vengeance.” The repetition emphasizes the degree of vengeance which they exhibited, presumably toward Judah.
- 25 Heb “with scorn in (the) soul.”
- 26 The object is not specified in the Hebrew text, but has been clarified as “Judah” in the translation.
- 27 Heb “to destroy (with) perpetual hostility.” Joel 3:4–8 also speaks of the Philistines taking advantage of the fall of Judah.
- 28 In Hebrew the verb “and I will cut off” sounds like its object, “the Cherethites,” and draws attention to the statement.
- 29 This is a name for the Philistines, many of whom migrated to Palestine from Crete.
- 30 Heb “with acts of punishment of anger.”

“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The people of Philistia have acted against Judah out of bitter revenge and long-standing contempt. Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will raise my fist of judgment against the land of the Philistines.

And I will execute on them great vengeance with punishments of rage, and they will know that I am Yahweh when I exact my vengeance on them!”
