Jeremiah 47
47
1 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah, the prophet, against the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Gaza.
2 Thus says the Lord: "Behold, waters will rise up from the north, and they will be like an inundating torrent, and they will cover the land and its plenitude, the city and its inhabitants. The men will cry out, and all the inhabitants of the land will wail,
3 before the uproar of a procession of weapons and of his soldiers, before the commotion of his four-horse chariots and the multitude of his wheels. The fathers have not looked back for the sons, because of feebleness of hands,
4 because of the arrival of the day on which all the Philistines will be devastated, and Tyre and Sidon will be destroyed, with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord has depopulated the Philistines, the remnant of the island of Cappadocia.
5 Baldness has arrived over Gaza. Ashkelon has been silenced, along with the remnant of their valley. And how long will you continue to be cut down?
6 O sharp sword of the Lord, how long will you be without rest? Enter your sheath; be refreshed and silenced.
7 But how can it find rest, when the Lord has ordered it against Ashkelon and against its maritime regions, and when a task has been appointed to it there?"

Jeremiah 47
47
Judgment on the Philistines
1The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, # Eze 25:15–17 before Pharaoh conquered Gaza. # Ge 10:19; Jer 25:20
2Thus says the Lord:
Behold, waters rise up out of the north # Isa 8:7–8
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
3at the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, # Jdg 5:22; Jer 8:16
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,
4because 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. # Dt 2:23; Am 9:7
5Baldness has come upon Gaza; # Jer 25:20; 48:37
Ashkelon has been cut off.
O remnant of their valley,
how long shall you gash yourself? # Jer 41:5
6O sword of the Lord, # Jer 12:12; Eze 21:3–5
how long shall you not be quiet?
Withdraw into your sheath,
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 He has appointed it. # Eze 14:17; Mic 6:9
