Philistia Destroyed
aBecause the rod that struck you is broken;
For out of the serpent’s roots will come forth a viper,
bAnd its offspring will be a fiery flying serpent.
And the needy will lie down in safety;
I will kill your roots with famine,
And it will slay your remnant.
All you of Philistia are dissolved;
For smoke will come from the north,
And no one will be alone in his1 appointed times.”
That athe Lord has founded Zion,
And bthe poor of His people shall take refuge in it.

Isaiah 14:30
And the first-born of the poor, etc. - The Targum goes on applying all to the Messiah. "And the poor of the people shall he feed, and the humble shall dwell securely in his days: and he shall kill thy children with famine, and the remnant of thy people shall he slay."
I will kill "He will slay" - The Septuagint reads hemith , to the third person, ; and so the Chaldee. The Vulgate remedies the confusion of persons in the present text, by reading both the verbs in the first person.
