Jeremiah
Chapter Forty-Seven
1 ¶ The word of the
LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before that
Pharaoh smote Gaza.
2 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be
an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein;
the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants
of the land shall howl.
3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing
of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look
back to their children for feebleness of hands;
4 Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off
from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the
Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their
valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
6 O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself
into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
7 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon,
and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.
