Jeremiah 47
47
Prophecy Against the Philistines
1The word of Adonai that came to the prophet Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Gaza.
2Thus says Adonai: “Look, waters rising from the north will become an overflowing torrent, and overflow the land and all in it, the city and those dwelling in it and the men will cry, and every inhabitant of the land wail.
3The noise— the stomping hooves of his stallions, the rumbling of his chariots, the reverberation of his wheels! Fathers will not turn back for their children because of their limp hands.
4For the day is coming to devastate all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every remaining ally. For Adonai will destroy the Philistines, the rest of the island of Caphtor.
5Baldness has come upon Gaza, Ashkelon is ruined. O remnant of their valley, how long will you gash yourself?
6O sword of Adonai, how long until you are quiet? Go back into your sheath, rest and be still.
7How can you be quiet when Adonai has commanded? He has assigned it against Ashkelon and against the coast of the sea.

Jeremiah 47
47
A Prophecy against Philistia
1The Lord spoke this message to the prophet Jeremiah about the Philistines before Pharaoh defeated Gaza. 2This is what the Lord says:
Water is rising in the north.
It will become an overflowing river.
It will overflow the land and everything in it,
the cities and those who live in them.
People will cry out and everyone who lives in the land will cry loudly.
3They will hear the sound of galloping war horses,
the rattling of enemy chariots,
and the rumbling of their wheels.
Fathers who lack courage abandon their children.
4The time has come to destroy all the Philistines,
to cut off from Tyre and Sidon any Philistine
who might have escaped to get help.
The Lord will destroy the Philistines
and anyone who is left from the island of Crete.
5Gaza will shave its head in mourning.
Ashkelon will be destroyed.
How long will you cut yourselves, you people left on the plains?
6You cry out, “Sword of the Lord,
how long will you keep on fighting?
Go back into your scabbard.
Stay there and rest!”
7How can the sword of the Lord rest?
The Lord has ordered it to attack Ashkelon and the coast.
He has put it there.
