Jeremiah 47

Judgment on the Philistines
1#Jer 25:20; Ge 10:19The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before Pharaoh conquered Gaza.
2#Isa 8:7–8; 15:2–5Thus says the Lord:
See, waters rise up out of the north
and will be an overflowing flood,
and will overflow the land, and all that is in it,
the city and those who dwell in it.
Then the men shall cry out
and all the inhabitants of the land will howl
3#Jdg 5:22; Jer 8:16 at the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses,
at the rushing of his chariots,
and at the rumbling of his wheels.
The fathers will not look back to their children
because of the feebleness of their hands,
4#Am 9:7; Dt 2:23; Isa 20:6 because of the day that comes
to destroy all the Philistines
and to cut off from Tyre and Sidon
every helper that remains.
For the Lord will destroy the Philistines,
the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
5#Jer 48:37; 25:20; 41:5 Baldness has come upon Gaza;
Ashkelon has been cut off.
O remnant of their valley,
how long shall you gash yourself?
6#Jer 12:12; Eze 21:3–5 O sword of the Lord,
how long shall you not be quiet?
Withdraw into your sheath,
rest, and be still.
7#Eze 14:17; Mic 6:9 How can it be quiet,
seeing the Lord has given it a charge
against Ashkelon and against the sea shore?
There He has appointed it.

The Prophecy concerning the Philistines
1 #
Isa 14.29-31; Ezek 25.15-17; Joel 3.4-8; Amos 1.6-8; Zeph 2.4-7; Zech 9.5-7. The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.
2Thus saith the Lord; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl. 3At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands; 4because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the Lord will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor. 5Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ash´kelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself? 6O thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still. 7How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord hath given it a charge against Ash´kelon, and against the seashore? there hath he appointed it.
