Ezekiel 16:27

16:27 So see here, I have stretched out my hand against you and cut off your rations. I have delivered you into the power of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed by your obscene conduct.

Ezekiel 16:57

16:57 before your evil was exposed? Now you have become an object of scorn to the daughters of Aram ¹  and all those around her and to the daughters of the Philistines – those all around you who despise you.

Ezekiel 25:15-16

A Prophecy Against Philistia

25:15 “This is what the sovereign Lord says: ‘The Philistines ²  have exacted merciless revenge, ³  showing intense scorn ⁴  in their effort to destroy Judah ⁵  with unrelenting hostility. ⁶  25:16 So this is what the sovereign Lord says: Take note, I am about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines. I will kill ⁷  the Cherethites ⁸  and destroy those who remain on the seacoast.

¹ tc So MT, LXX, and Vulgate; many Hebrew mss and Syriac read “Edom.”

¹ sn The Philistines inhabited the coastal plain by the Mediterranean Sea, west of Judah.

² tn Heb “have acted with vengeance and taken vengeance with vengeance.” The repetition emphasizes the degree of vengeance which they exhibited, presumably toward Judah.

³ tn Heb “with scorn in (the) soul.”

⁴ tn The object is not specified in the Hebrew text, but has been clarified as “Judah” in the translation.

⁵ tn Heb “to destroy (with) perpetual hostility.” Joel 3:4-8 also speaks of the Philistines taking advantage of the fall of Judah.

¹ tn In Hebrew the verb “and I will cut off” sounds like its object, “the Cherethites,” and draws attention to the statement.

² sn This is a name for the Philistines, many of whom migrated to Palestine from Crete.
