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.

Prophecies against the Philistines
1This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines # Jr 25:20 before Pharaoh defeated Gaza. # Am 1:6-7; Zph 2:4 2This is what the Lord says:
Look, waters are rising from the north # Jr 1:13; 4:6,20; 6:1; 50:3,9,41; 51:48
and becoming an overflowing wadi.
They will overflow the land and everything in it, # Is 8:7-8
the cities and their inhabitants.
The people will cry out,
and every inhabitant of the land will wail.
3At the sound of the stomping hooves of his stallions, # Jdg 5:22; Jr 8:16; 50:11
the rumbling of his chariots,
and the clatter of their wheels, # Nah 3:2-3
fathers will not turn back for their sons,
because they will be utterly helpless # Lit because of laziness of hands
4on account of the day that is coming
to destroy all the Philistines,
to cut off from Tyre and Sidon
every remaining ally. # Jr 25:22; Jl 3:4; Am 1:8-10
Indeed, the Lord is about to destroy the Philistines,
the remnant of the islands of Caphtor. # Probably Crete # Gn 10:14; Am 9:7
5Baldness # Jr 48:37 is coming to Gaza.
Ashkelon will become silent, # Jdg 1:18; Jr 25:20
a remnant of their valley.
How long will you gash yourself?
6Oh, sword of the Lord! # Ezk 21:3-5
How long will you be restless?
Go back to your sheath;
be still; be silent!
7How can it # LXX, Vg; MT reads you rest
when the Lord has given it a command? # Ezk 14:17
He has assigned it # Mc 6:9
against Ashkelon and the shore of the sea.
