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.”

Jeremiah 47
47
1 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah, the prophet, against the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Gaza.
2 Thus says the Lord: "Behold, waters will rise up from the north, and they will be like an inundating torrent, and they will cover the land and its plenitude, the city and its inhabitants. The men will cry out, and all the inhabitants of the land will wail,
3 before the uproar of a procession of weapons and of his soldiers, before the commotion of his four-horse chariots and the multitude of his wheels. The fathers have not looked back for the sons, because of feebleness of hands,
4 because of the arrival of the day on which all the Philistines will be devastated, and Tyre and Sidon will be destroyed, with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord has depopulated the Philistines, the remnant of the island of Cappadocia.
5 Baldness has arrived over Gaza. Ashkelon has been silenced, along with the remnant of their valley. And how long will you continue to be cut down?
6 O sharp sword of the Lord, how long will you be without rest? Enter your sheath; be refreshed and silenced.
7 But how can it find rest, when the Lord has ordered it against Ashkelon and against its maritime regions, and when a task has been appointed to it there?"
