Jeremiah 47

CLV(i) 1 That which has been the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smites Gaza:" 2 `Thus said Yahweh:Lo, waters are coming up from the north, And have been for an overflowing stream, And they overflow the land and its fulness, The city, and the inhabitants in it, And men have cried out, And howled has every inhabitant of the land." 3 From the sound of the stamping of the hoofs of his mighty ones, From the rushing of his chariot, the noise of his wheels, Fathers have not turned unto sons, From feebleness of hands, 4 Because of the day that has come to spoil all the Philistines, To cut off to Tyre and to Zidon every helping remnant. For Yahweh is spoiling the Philistines, The remnant of the isle of Caphtor." 5 Come has baldness unto Gaza, Cut off has been Ashkelon, O remnant of their valley, Till when do you cut yourself? 6 Ho, sword of Yahweh, till when are you not quiet? Be removed unto your sheath, rest and cease." 7 How shall it be quiet, And Yahweh has given a charge to it, Against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? There has He appointed it!'"
