An oracle concerning the Philistines

28 This oracle came in the year of King Ahaz’s death:

29 Don’t rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken,
    because from the snake’s root a viper will grow,
    and it will produce a winged creature.
30 The oldest offspring of the poor will graze;
    their needy will lie down secure.
But he will starve your offspring to death,
    and murder all who remain.
