Prophecies against the Philistines
1This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines # Jr 25:20 before Pharaoh defeated Gaza. # Am 1:6-7; Zph 2:4 2This is what the Lord says:
Look, waters are rising from the north # Jr 1:13; 4:6,20; 6:1; 50:3,9,41; 51:48
and becoming an overflowing wadi.
They will overflow the land and everything in it, # Is 8:7-8
the cities and their inhabitants.
The people will cry out,
and every inhabitant of the land will wail.
3At the sound of the stomping hooves of his stallions, # Jdg 5:22; Jr 8:16; 50:11
the rumbling of his chariots,
and the clatter of their wheels, # Nah 3:2-3
fathers will not turn back for their sons,
because they will be utterly helpless # Lit because of laziness of hands
4on account of the day that is coming
to destroy all the Philistines,
to cut off from Tyre and Sidon
every remaining ally. # Jr 25:22; Jl 3:4; Am 1:8-10
Indeed, the Lord is about to destroy the Philistines,
the remnant of the islands of Caphtor. # Probably Crete # Gn 10:14; Am 9:7
5Baldness # Jr 48:37 is coming to Gaza.
Ashkelon will become silent, # Jdg 1:18; Jr 25:20
a remnant of their valley.
How long will you gash yourself?
6Oh, sword of the Lord! # Ezk 21:3-5
How long will you be restless?
Go back to your sheath;
be still; be silent!
7How can it # LXX, Vg; MT reads you rest
when the Lord has given it a command? # Ezk 14:17
He has assigned it # Mc 6:9
against Ashkelon and the shore of the sea.

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 47
47
1The word of יהוה that came to Yirmeyahu the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Azzah:
2Thus said יהוה, “See, waters are rising out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood. And they shall overflow the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell within. And men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.
3“At the noise of the stamping hooves of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look to their children, because of weakness of hands,
4because of the day that shall come to ravage all the Philistines, to cut off from Tsor and Tsiḏon every helper that survives. For יהוה is ravaging the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Kaphtor.
5“Baldness shall come upon Azzah, Ashqelon shall be cut off with the remnant of their valley. Till when would you cut yourself?
6“O you sword of יהוה, how long till you rest? Put yourself up into your sheath, rest and be still!
7“How shall it rest, when יהוה has given it a command? Against Ashqelon and against the seashore – there He has appointed it.”
