“And I will cut off and destroy the inhabitants from Ashdod,
And the ruler who holds the scepter, from Ashkelon;
And I will unleash My power and turn My hand [in judgment] against Ekron,
And the rest of the Philistines [in Gath and the towns dependent on these four Philistine cities] shall die,”
Says the Lord GOD.
Surely the Lord GOD does nothing
[fn]Without revealing His secret plan [of the judgment to come]
To His servants the prophets.
The lion has roared! Who will not fear?
The Lord GOD has spoken [to the prophets]! Who can but prophesy?
Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD,
“An adversary (Assyria), even one surrounding the land,
Shall pull down your strength from you
And your fortresses will be looted.”
The Lord GOD has sworn [an oath] by His holiness
That, “Behold, the days are coming upon you
When they shall take you away with meat hooks,
And the last of you with fish hooks.
“[fn]Offer [by burning] a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened,
And [boastfully] proclaim freewill offerings, announce them.
For this you so love to do, O children of Israel!”
Says the Lord GOD.
For thus says the Lord GOD,
“The city which goes forth a thousand strong
Will have a hundred left,
And the one which goes forth a hundred strong
Will have ten left to the house of Israel.”
The Lord [fn]GOD has sworn [an oath] by Himself—the LORD God of hosts, says:
“I loathe and reject the [self-centered] arrogance of Jacob (Israel),
And I hate his palaces and citadels;
Therefore, I shall hand over the [idolatrous] city [of Samaria] with all that it contains [to the Assyrian invaders].”
Thus the Lord GOD showed me [a vision], and behold, He was forming a swarm of locusts when the spring crop began to sprout. And behold, the spring crop was after the king’s mowing.
“O Lord GOD, please forgive!
How can Jacob stand,
For he is so small [that he cannot endure this]?”
Thus the Lord GOD showed me, and behold, the Lord GOD called for punishment with fire, and it devoured the great deep [underground sources of water] and began to consume the land.
“O Lord GOD, please stop!
How can Jacob stand,
For he is so small [that he cannot endure this]?”
Thus the Lord GOD showed me [a vision], and behold, there was a basket of [overripe] summer fruit.
“It shall come about in that day,” says the Lord GOD,
“That I shall cause the sun to go down at noon,
And I shall darken the earth in broad daylight.
“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord GOD,
“When I will send hunger over the land,
Not hunger for bread or a thirst for water,
But rather [a hunger] for hearing the words of the LORD.
The Lord GOD of hosts [the Omnipotent Ruler],
It is He who touches the earth [in judgment] and it melts,
And all who dwell on it mourn [in despair and fear],
And all of it rises up like the Nile
And subsides like the Nile of Egypt;
