25:15 “This is what the sovereign Lord says: ‘The Philistines ¹  have exacted merciless revenge, ²  showing intense scorn ³  in their effort to destroy Judah ⁴  with unrelenting hostility. ⁵  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 ⁶  the Cherethites ⁷  and destroy those who remain on the seacoast. 25:17 I will exact great vengeance upon them with angry rebukes. ⁸  Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I exact my vengeance upon them.’”
