Jeremiah 47

Prophecy against Philistia

1

That which came as the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the  aPhilistines, before Pharaoh  1conquered  bGaza.

2

Thus says the LORD: "Behold, waters are going to rise from  athe north And become an overflowing torrent, And  boverflow the land and all its fullness, The city and those who live in it; And the men will  ccry out, And every inhabitant of the land will wail.

3

"Because of the noise of the  1 agalloping hoofs of his  2stallions, The tumult of his chariots, and the rumbling of his wheels, The fathers have not turned back for their children, Because of the limpness of their hands,

4

On account of the day that is coming To  adestroy all the Philistines, To cut off from  bTyre and Sidon Every ally that is left; For the LORD is going to destroy the Philistines, The remnant of the coastland of  cCaphtor.

5

aBaldness has come upon Gaza;  bAshkelon has been ruined. O remnant of their valley, How long will you  cgash yourself?

6

"Ah,  asword of the LORD, How long will you not be quiet? Withdraw into your sheath; Be at rest and stay still.

7

"How can  1it be quiet, When the LORD has  agiven it an order? Against Ashkelon and against the seacoast-- There He has  bassigned it."
