Jeremiah 47
47
Word Against Philistia
1That which came as the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck down Gaza. 2Thus says Yahweh:
“Behold, waters are going to rise from the north
And become an overflowing torrent,
And overflow the land as well as its fullness,
The city and those who inhabit it;
And the men will cry out,
And every inhabitant of the land will wail.
3“Because of the noise of the #47:3 Lit stamping of thegalloping hoofs of his #47:3 Lit mighty onesvaliant steeds,
The quaking of his chariots, and the tumult of his wheels,
The fathers have not turned back for their children,
Because of the limpness of their hands,
4On account of the day that is coming
To destroy all the Philistines,
To cut off from Tyre and Sidon
Every ally that is left;
For Yahweh is going to destroy the Philistines,
The remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.
5“Baldness has come upon Gaza;
Ashkelon has been ruined.
O remnant of their valley,
How long will you gash yourself?
6“Ah, sword of Yahweh,
How long will you not be quiet?
Withdraw into your sheath;
# 47:6 Lit Have relief Be at rest and stay still.
7“How can #47:7 Lit youit be quiet?
Yahweh has given it a command;
Against Ashkelon and against the seacoast—
There He has assigned it.”
