Jeremiah 47

Prophecy against Philistia

1 That which came as the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the ^aPhilistines, before Pharaoh ^{▼▼ Lit smote}conquered ^cGaza. 2 Thus says the Lord: “Behold, waters are going to rise from ^dthe north
And become an overflowing torrent,
And ^eoverflow the land and all its fullness,
The city and those who live in it;
And the men will ^fcry out,
And every inhabitant of the land will wail.
3 “Because of the noise of the ^{▼▼ Lit stamping of the
,} ^hgalloping hoofs of his ^{▼▼ Lit mighty ones}stallions,
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 ^jdestroy all the Philistines,
To cut off from ^kTyre and Sidon
Every ally that is left;
For the Lord is going to destroy the Philistines,
The remnant of the coastland of ^lCaphtor.
5 ^m“Baldness has come upon Gaza;
ⁿAshkelon has been ruined.
O remnant of their valley,
How long will you ^ogash yourself?
6 “Ah, ^psword of the Lord,
How long will you not be quiet?
Withdraw into your sheath;
Be at rest and stay still.
7 “How can ^{▼▼ Lit you}it be quiet,
When the Lord has ^rgiven it an order?
Against Ashkelon and against the seacoast—
There He has ^sassigned it.”
