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?

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.
