¹ 法老攻擊迦薩之先，有耶和華論非利士人的話臨到先知耶利米。

² 耶和華如此說：有水從北方發起，成為漲溢的河，要漲過遍地和其中所有的，並城和其中所住的。人必呼喊；境內的居民都必哀號。

³ 聽見敵人壯馬蹄跳的響聲和戰車隆隆、車輪轟轟；為父的手就發軟，不回頭看顧兒女。

⁴ 因為日子將到，要毀滅一切非利士人，剪除幫助推羅、西頓所剩下的人。原來耶和華必毀滅非利士人，就是迦斐託海島餘剩的人。

⁵ 迦薩成了光禿；平原中所剩的亞實基倫歸於無有。你用刀劃身，要到幾時呢？

⁶ 耶和華的刀劍哪，你到幾時才止息呢？你要入鞘，安靖不動。

⁷ 耶和華既吩咐你攻擊亞實基倫和海邊之地，他已經派定你，焉能止息呢？

²⁵ 拆毀摩押的城邑，各人拋石填滿一切美田，塞住一切水泉，砍伐各種佳樹，只剩下吉珥哈列設的石牆；甩石的兵在四圍攻打那城。

³⁴ When the season for the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his fruit.

³⁵ The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

³⁶ Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.

³⁷ But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

³⁸ But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, and seize his inheritance.'

³⁹ So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
