Jeremiah 47

Prophecies against the Philistines
1This is the word of the Lord that came to the prophet Jeremiah about the Philistines#Jr 25:20 before Pharaoh defeated Gaza.#Am 1:6–7; Zph 2:4 2This is what the Lord says:
Look, water is rising from the north#Jr 1:13; 4:6,20; 6:1; 50:3,9,41; 51:48
and becoming an overflowing wadi.
It 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.
They will be utterly helpless#47:3 Lit Because of weakened 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 coastland of Caphtor.#47:4 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
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#47:7 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.

Jeremiah 47
1¶ The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Palestinians, before Pharaoh smote Gaza.
2Thus hath the Lord said: 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 cities and those 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 comes to destroy all the Palestinians, and to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remains: for the Lord will destroy the Palestinians, the remnant of the island of Caphtor.
5Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon 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 has given it a charge against Ashkelon and against the sea shore? there has he appointed it.
