Before the king of Egypt attacked the city of Gaza, the LORD spoke his word to Jeremiah the prophet. This message is to the Philistine people.
This is what the LORD says:
“See, the enemy is gathering in the north like rising waters.
They will become like an overflowing stream
and will cover the whole country like a flood,
even the towns and the people living in them.
Everyone living in that country
will cry for help;
the people will cry painfully.
