¹⁶ therefore this is what the Lord God says: I am about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines,^(A) cutting off the Cherethites and wiping out what remains of the coastal peoples.^{[a](B) 17} I will execute severe vengeance against them with furious rebukes. They will know that I am the Lord^(C) when I take my vengeance on them.” ’
