26This is the purpose that is purposed on the whole earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out on all the nations.
27For Yahweh of Hosts has purposed, and who shall annul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
28In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
29Don`t rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent`s root shall come forth an adder, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
30The firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant shall be killed.
31Howl, gate; cry, city; you are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for there comes a smoke out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
32What then shall one answer the messengers of the nation? That Yahweh has founded Zion, and in her shall the afflicted of his people take refuge.
