Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with despite of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity;

This is what the Lord has said: Because the Philistines have taken payment, with the purpose of causing shame and destruction with unending hate;

Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Επειδη οι Φιλισταιοι εφερθησαν εκδικητικως και εκαμον εκδικησιν περιφρονουντες εκ ψυχης, ωστε να φερωσιν ολεθρον δια παλαιον μισος,

Thus saith the Lord God; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;
