Jeremiah 47

Jeremiah 47:5
"Baldness has come upon Gaza;
Ashkelon has been ruined.
O remnant of their valley,
How long will you gash yourself?
So, it appears that whatever will happen to the Philistines, it won't just affect them.  Their ruin will be so complete, it will lay waste to their territory, and make the land almost uninhabitable.  The land will be laid bare, and their city destroyed.

This devastation will take a major toll upon the people who survive, as well.  They will be so grief-stricken or traumatized, they will cut themselves.  Today that would be classified as a mental illness, or PTSD.  This is how God will deal with a long-standing enemy; I'd rather not be on His bad side.
