Jeremiah 47
47
Judgment on Philistia
1The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet #Is. 14:29–31; Ezek. 25:15–17; Zeph. 2:4, 5; Zech. 9:6against the Philistines, #Amos 1:6before Pharaoh attacked Gaza.
2Thus says the Lord:
“Behold, #Is. 8:7, 8; Jer. 46:7, 8waters rise #Jer. 1:14out of the north,
And shall be an overflowing flood;
They shall overflow the land and all that is in it,
The city and those who dwell within;
Then the men shall cry,
And all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.
3At the #Judg. 5:22; Jer. 8:16; Nah. 3:2noise of the stamping hooves of his strong horses,
At the rushing of his chariots,
At the rumbling of his wheels,
The fathers will not look back for their children,
Lacking courage,
4Because of the day that comes to plunder all the #Is. 14:29–31Philistines,
To cut off from #Is. 23:1–18; Jer. 25:22; Ezek. 26:1–21; 28:20–24; Amos 1:9, 10; Zech. 9:2–4Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains;
For the Lord shall plunder the Philistines,
#Ezek. 25:16; Amos 1:8The remnant of the country of #Gen. 10:14; Deut. 2:23; Amos 9:7Caphtor.
5#Jer. 48:37; Mic. 1:16; Zeph. 2:4Baldness has come upon Gaza,
#Judg. 1:18; Jer. 25:20; Amos 1:7, 8; Zech. 9:5Ashkelon is cut off
With the remnant of their valley.
How long will you cut yourself?
6“O you #Deut. 32:41; Judg. 7:20; Jer. 12:12; Ezek. 21:3–5sword of the Lord,
How long until you are quiet?
Put yourself up into your scabbard,
Rest and be still!
7How can it be quiet,
Seeing the Lord has #Is. 10:6; Ezek. 14:17given it a charge
Against Ashkelon and against the seashore?
There He has #Mic. 6:9appointed it.”

Yirmeyah 47
47
1The Devar Hashem that came to Yirmeyah HaNavi against the Pelishtim (Philistines), before Pharaoh smote Azah (Gaza).
2Thus saith Hashem: Hinei, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the Ir, and them that dwell therein; then the adam shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.
3At the noise of the stamping of the hooves of his mighty steeds, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the avot shall not look back to their banim for the limpness of their hands;
4Because of the Yom HaBah for destroying all the Pelishtim (Philistines), and to cut off from Tzor and Tzidon every helper that remaineth; for Hashem will destroy the Pelishtim (Philistines), the remnant of the coast of Caphtor.
5The shaved head has come upon Azah (Gaza); Ashkelon is silenced. Remnant of their valley, how long wilt thou cut thyself?
6O thou cherev Hashem, how long will it be until thou be quiet? Put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
7How can it be quiet, seeing Hashem hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea coast? There hath He appointed it.
