Isa 17:1-3:
17:1 Bad news for Damesek
17 A message for Damesek (Damascus):[ref]
Listen, Damesek will cease to be a city
≈ and will become a heap of rubble.
2 Aroer’s cities will be abandoned to sheep and goats.
They’ll lie down there and there’ll be no one around to frighten them.
3 Forts will disappear from Yisrael (Israel; Heb. Efrayim)
≈ and Damesek will lose its kingdom.
The remnant from Aram (Syria) will be a prize for the Israelis.
Jer 49:23-27:
23 Concerning Damesek (Damascus):
Hamat and Arpad will be ashamed, because they’ve heard bad news.
they’ll become as troubled as an ocean that cannot stay calm.[ref]
24 Damesek will be disheartened.
It turns away to flee in panic.
Distress and pangs of pain seize it like a woman giving birth.
25 How has that widely praised city been abandoned—
the town that gave me happiness.
26 Therefore its young men will fall in its plazas,
and all the fighting men will perish on that day.
That is the declaration of Commander-in-chief Yahweh,
27 because I’ll light a fire on the wall around Damesek (Damascus),
and it will burn up Ben-Hadad’s fortresses.
Amos 1:3-5:
Aram
“Even if Damesek (Damascus) was three or four sins below the threshold,
I wouldn’t turn away their punishment,
for the cruel things they did to the people of Gilead.[ref]
4 I’ll send a fire into King Hazael’s house,
≈ and it will devour King Ben-Hadad’s fortresses.
5 I’ll smash the gate bars of Damesek
and eliminate the ruler of the Aven Valley,
and also the leader of Beyt-Eden.
Isa 14:29-31:
29 All you Pelishtim, don’t celebrate that the rod that struck you is now broken,
because out of the root of that snake, a viper will grow,
and its result will be a darting adder.[ref]
30 Then the poor will graze in my pastures,
≈ and the needy will lie down in safety.
I will kill your root with famine,
≈ and it will kill your survivors.
31 Wail, you gate. Cry out, you city.
Peleshet, all of you will melt away,
because smoke comes from the north,
and no soldier is alone in his ranks.
Jer 47:1-7:
47 This is Yahweh’s message that he gave to the prophet Yirmiyah (Jeremiah) concerning the Pelishtim before Par’oh (Pharaoh) attacked Azah (Gaza).[ref] 2 Yahweh says this:
Listen, armies are rising in the north like floods of water.
They’ll be like an overflowing river.
Then they’ll overflow the land and everything in it—
its cities and its inhabitants.
So everyone will shout out for help,
and all the land’s inhabitants will wail.
3 At the sound of the stamping of their powerful horses’ hooves,
at the clattering of their chariots and the noise of their wheels,
fathers won’t help their children because of their own helplessness.
4 The day is coming that will devastate all of the Pelishtim—
to cut every survivor off from Tsor (Tyre) and Tsidon (Sidon) who wants to help them,
because Yahweh is devastating the Pelishtim—
the remnant who originally came from the island of Kaftor.
5 The people of Azah (Gaza) will shave their heads in mourning.
The remnant in Ashkelon’s valley will be silenced.
How much longer will you cut yourself in mourning for?
6 Oh no, sword of Yahweh, how long will it be until you stop?
Get back to your scabbard. Stop and be silent.
7 How can it stop when Yahweh has commanded it,
when he has ordered it to attack Ashkelon and the other cities along the coast?
Eze 25:15-17:
25:15 Peleshet’s punishment
15 The master Yahweh says this, ‘The Pelishtim have chosen hateful vengeance and have put much effort into trying to destroy Yehudah (Judah).[ref] 16 So this is what the master Yahweh says: Listen, I’ll take action against the Pelishtim, and I’ll cut off the Kereti and destroy the remnant along the coast. 17 I’ll take severe vengeance against them with furious acts to punish them—they’ll know that I am Yahweh, when I take my vengeance on them.’ ”
Yoel 3:4-8:
4 Tsor (Tyre), Tsidon (Sidon), and all of the regions of Peleshet, what are you to me?
Are you trying to get even with me?
If you are, I’ll very quickly deflect your actions back on yourselves,[ref]
5 because you took my gold and silver,
and you took my precious treasures into your temples.
6 Then you sold the people of Yehudah (Judah) and Yerushalem (Jerusalem) to the Hellains (Greeks),
so that they’d be taken far away from their homeland.
7 Listen, I’ll stir them up there in the place where you sold them,
and I’ll deflect your behaviour back on yourselves,
8 because I’ll sell your sons and daughters to the people of Yehudah,
and they’ll sell them to people from Sheva—to a faraway nation.”
Amos 1:6-8:
Peleshet
“Even if Azah (Gaza) was three or four sins below the threshold,
I wouldn’t turn away their punishment,
because they carried a whole people group away as captives,
to hand them over to Edom.[ref] 7 I’ll send fire onto Azah’s walls,
and it’ll devour her fortresses. 8 I will cut off those from Ashdod
I’ll cause problems for Ekron,
and the rest of the Pelishtim will die,”
Zeph 2:4-7:
4 Because Azah (Gaza) will become abandoned,
and Ashkelon will become a ruin.
The people of Ashdod will be driven out by noon,
and Ekron will be overthrown.[ref]
5 The inhabitants of the coastal region are to be pitied,
≈ Yahweh’s decision is against you all,
Kena’an (Canaan), land of the Pelishtim.
I’ll destroy you until no one remains.
6 The coastal region will become pastures of meadows for shepherds
7 The remaining survivors from Yehudah (Judah) will inhabit that region.
They will shepherd their flocks on that land.
They’ll lie down in their houses in Ashkelon in the evening,
because their god Yahweh will visit them, and he’ll restore their fortune.
