Jeremiah 47

CHAPTER 47 Judgment against the Philistines

1 And [³came ¹the word ²of the lord] to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before the striking of Pharaoh of Gaza. 2 Thus says the lord, Behold, waters ascend from the north, and will be for a rushing stream, flooding. And it shall flood the land, and the fullness of it; the city and the ones dwelling in it. And [³shall cry out ¹the ²men], and [⁵shall shout ⁶all together ¹the ones ²dwelling ³in the ⁴land] 3 from the sound of his thrust, from the hoofs of his feet, and from the quake of his chariots, the sound of his wheels. [²did not ³turn ¹Fathers] unto their sons because of the feebleness of their hands, 4 in the day, in the coming one, to destroy all the Philistines, and to obliterate Tyre and Sidon and all the rest of their helpers, for the lord will utterly destroy the Philistines of the remnants of the islands of Cappadocia. 5 [²is come ¹Baldness] upon Gaza; Ashkelon was thrown away, and the remnant of the Anakim. 6 How long will you smite, sword of the the lord? Until when will you not be still? Restore it unto your sheath! Cause it to rest and be lifted away! 7 How shall it be quiet, and the lord gave charge to it against Ashkelon, and against the places by the sea, for the remnant to be roused.
