What the Lord Says about the Philistines

47 (A) Before the king of Egypt attacked the town of Gaza,[a] the Lord told me to say to the Philistines:

I, the Lord, tell you
that your land will be flooded
    with an army from the north.
It will destroy your towns
and sweep you away,
    moaning and screaming.
When you hear the thunder
of horses and chariots,
    your courage will vanish,
and parents will even abandon
    their own children.
