1. Before the king of Egypt attacked Gaza, the Lord spoke to me about Philistia.
2. He said:“Look! Waters are rising in the northand will rush like a river in flood.They will cover the land and everything on it,cities and the people who live there.People will call out for help;everyone on earth will cry bitterly.
3. They will hear the hoof beats of horses,the clatter of chariots,the rumble of wheels.Parents will not turn back for their children;their hands will hang limp at their sides.
