Yechezkel 25:15-17

15 Thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Because the Pelishtim (Philistines) have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with malice in nefesh, to destroy it for the eyvat olam (ancient enmity);
16 Therefore thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Hineni, I will stretch out Mine yad upon the Pelishtim (Philistines), and I will cut off the Keretim, and destroy the she’erit (remnant) of the seacoast.
17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with tokhechot chemah (punishments of wrath); and they shall know that I am Hashem, when I shall take my vengeance upon them.
