Jeremiah 47
47
1The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza. 2Thus saith the LORD: Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land and all that is therein, the city and them that dwell therein: and 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 ones, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers look not back to their children for feebleness of hands; 4because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor. 5Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nought, 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 canst thou be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given thee a charge? against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore, there hath he appointed it.

Jeremiah 47
47
1 #
Is 14.29-31; Ezek 25.15-17; Amos 1.6-8; Zeph 2.4-7; Zech 9.5-7. The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smote Gaza.
2“Thus says the Lord:
Behold, waters are rising out of the north,
and shall become an overflowing torrent;
they shall overflow the land and all that fills it,
the city and those who dwell in it.
Men shall cry out,
and every inhabitant of the land shall wail.
3At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his stallions,
at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of their wheels,
the fathers look not back to their children,
so feeble are their hands,
4because of the day that is coming to destroy
all the Philistines,
to cut off from Tyre and Sidon
every helper that remains.
For the Lord is destroying the Philistines,
the remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.
5Baldness has come upon Gaza,
Ashkelon has perished.
O remnant of the Anakim,#47.5 Gk: Heb their valley
how long will you gash yourselves?
6Ah, sword of the Lord!
How long till you are quiet?
Put yourself into your scabbard,
rest and be still!
7How can it#47.7 Gk Vg: Heb you be quiet,
when the Lord has given it a charge?
Against Ashkelon and against the seashore
he has appointed it.”
