Isaiah 14:29-31
New American Standard Bible
29 “Do not rejoice, (A)Philistia, all of you,
Because the rod that (B)struck you is broken;
For from the serpent’s root a (C)viper will come out,
And its fruit will be a (D)winged serpent.
30 [a]Those who are most (E)helpless will eat,
And the poor will lie down in security;
I will kill your root with (F)famine,
And it will kill your survivors.
31 Wail, you (G)gate; cry, you city;
[b]Melt away, (H)Philistia, all of you!
For smoke comes from the (I)north,
And (J)there is no straggler in his ranks.

New American Standard Bible
Prophecy against Philistia
47 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the (A)Philistines, before Pharaoh [a]conquered (B)Gaza. 2 This is what the Lord says:
“Behold, waters are going to rise from (C)the north
And become an overflowing torrent,
And (D)overflow the land and everything that is in it,
The city and those who live in it;
And the people will (E)cry out,
And every inhabitant of the land will wail.
3 Because of the noise of the [b](F)galloping hoofs of his [c]stallions,
The roar of his chariots, and the rumbling of his wheels,
The fathers have not turned back for their children,
Because of the debility of their hands,
4 Because of the day that is coming
To (G)destroy all the Philistines,
To eliminate from (H)Tyre and Sidon
Every surviving ally;
For the Lord is going to destroy the Philistines,
The remnant of the coastland of (I)Caphtor.
5 (J)Baldness has come upon Gaza;
(K)Ashkelon has been destroyed.
Remnant of their valley,
How long will you (L)gash yourself?
6 Ah, (M)sword of the Lord,
How long will you not be quiet?
Withdraw into your sheath;
Rest and stay still.
7 How can [d]it be quiet,
When the Lord has (N)given it an order?
Against Ashkelon and against the sea shore—
There He has (O)summoned it.”

Ezekiel 25:15-17
New American Standard Bible
Philistia
15 ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Because the Philistines have acted in (A)revenge, and have taken vengeance with malice in their souls to destroy with everlasting hostility,” 16 therefore this is what the Lord God says: “Behold, I am going to (B)reach out with My hand against the Philistines and eliminate the (C)Cherethites; and I will destroy the remnant of the seacoast. 17 I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they will (D)know that I am the Lord, when I inflict My vengeance on them.”’”

Amos 1:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 This is what the Lord says:
“For three offenses of (A)Gaza, and for four,
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they led into exile an entire population
To (B)turn them over to Edom.
7 So I will send fire on the wall of Gaza
And it will consume her citadels.
8 I will also eliminate every inhabitant from (C)Ashdod,
As well as him who holds the scepter, from (D)Ashkelon;
And I will direct My [a]power against Ekron,
And the remnant of the (E)Philistines will perish,”
Says the Lord [b]God.
Zechariah 9:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 Ashkelon will see it and be afraid.
Gaza too will writhe in great pain;
Also Ekron, because her hope has been ruined.
Moreover, the king will perish from Gaza,
And Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
6 And a people of mixed origins will live in (A)Ashdod,
And I will eliminate the pride of the Philistines.
7 And I will remove their blood from their mouth
And their detestable things from between their teeth.
Then they also will be a remnant for our God,
And be like a [a]clan in Judah,
And Ekron will be like a Jebusite.
