Jeremiah 47

A Message Concerning the Philistines
1The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines before#Literally “at not yet” Pharaoh attacked Gaza. 2Thus says Yahweh:
“Look, waters are rising from the north,
and they will become as a raging torrent,
and they will overflow the land,
and that which fills it,
the city and those who live in it.
And the people will cry out,
and every inhabitant of the land will wail,
3from the sound of the stamping of the hoofs of his stallions,
from the clattering of his chariots,#Hebrew “chariot”
the noise of their wheels.
Fathers do not turn to their children
because of the slackness of their hands.
4Because of the day that is coming
to destroy all the Philistines,
to cut off from Tyre and from Sidon
every survivor who could help,
for Yahweh is destroying the Philistines,
the remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.
5Baldness has come upon Gaza,
Ashkelon is destroyed.
O remnant of their valley,
how long#Literally “until when” will you cut yourself with a blade?
6Ah, sword of Yahweh,
how long#Literally “until when” will you not be quiet?
Gather to your sheath,
keep quiet and stand still.
7How can you be quiet
when Yahweh has given an order to it?
Against Ashkelon and against the shore of the sea,
there he has appointed it.”

1Yahweh’s word that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Gaza.
2Yahweh says:
“Behold, waters rise up out of the north,
and will become an overflowing stream,
and will overflow the land and all that is therein,
the city and those who dwell therein.
The men will cry,
and all the inhabitants of the land will wail.
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 don’t look back for their children
because their hands are so feeble,
4because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines,
to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains;
for Yahweh will destroy the Philistines,
the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.
5Baldness has come on Gaza;
Ashkelon is brought to nothing.
You remnant of their valley,
how long will you cut yourself?
6“‘You sword of Yahweh, how long will it be before you are quiet?
Put yourself back into your scabbard;
rest, and be still.’
7“How can you be quiet,
since Yahweh has given you a command?
Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore,
there he has appointed it.”
