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.”

Jeremiah 47
47
1 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah, the prophet, against the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Gaza.
2 Thus says the Lord: "Behold, waters will rise up from the north, and they will be like an inundating torrent, and they will cover the land and its plenitude, the city and its inhabitants. The men will cry out, and all the inhabitants of the land will wail,
3 before the uproar of a procession of weapons and of his soldiers, before the commotion of his four-horse chariots and the multitude of his wheels. The fathers have not looked back for the sons, because of feebleness of hands,
4 because of the arrival of the day on which all the Philistines will be devastated, and Tyre and Sidon will be destroyed, with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord has depopulated the Philistines, the remnant of the island of Cappadocia.
5 Baldness has arrived over Gaza. Ashkelon has been silenced, along with the remnant of their valley. And how long will you continue to be cut down?
6 O sharp sword of the Lord, how long will you be without rest? Enter your sheath; be refreshed and silenced.
7 But how can it find rest, when the Lord has ordered it against Ashkelon and against its maritime regions, and when a task has been appointed to it there?"
