29 Country of Philistia, don’t be so happy.
    The king who beat you is now dead.
But he is like a snake that will give birth to another dangerous snake.
    The new king will be like a quick, dangerous snake to bite you.
30 Even the poorest of my people will be able to eat safely.
    People in need will be able to lie down in safety.
But I will kill your family with hunger.
    And all your people who are left will die.

31 People near the city gates, cry out!
    Philistines, be frightened!
A cloud of dust comes from the north.
    It is an army, full of men ready to fight.
