Jeremias (Jeremiah) 47
47
1The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the prophet against the people of Palestine, before Pharao took Gaza.
2Thus saith the Lord: Behold, there come up waters out of the north, and they shall be as an overflowing torrent. And they shall cover the land, and all that is therein, the city and the inhabitants thereof. Then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl,
3At the noise of the marching of arms and of his soldiers, at the rushing of his chariots and the multitude of his wheels. The fathers have not looked back to the children, for feebleness of hands,
4Because of the coming of the day in which all the Philistines shall be laid waste, and Tyre and Sidon shall be destroyed, with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord hath wasted the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Cappadocia.
5Baldness is come upon Gaza: Ascalon hath held her peace with the remnant of their valley. How long shalt thou cut thyself?
6O thou sword of the Lord, how long wilt thou not be quiet? Go into thy scabbard: rest and be still.
7How shall it be quiet when the Lord hath given it a charge against Ascalon and against the countries thereof by the sea-side, and there hath made an appointment for it?

2#Isa 8:7–8; 15:2–5Thus says the Lord:
See, waters rise up out of the north
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
3#Jdg 5:22; Jer 8:16 at the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses,

Withdraw into your sheath,
