Ezekiel 25:15-17

Philistia

15 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because the Philistines have acted in 1revenge and have taken vengeance with scorn of soul to destroy with everlasting enmity,"
16 therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will 2stretch out My hand against the Philistines, even cut off the 3Cherethites and destroy the remnant of the seacoast *.
17 "I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they will 4know that I am the LORD when I lay My vengeance on them.""'
