Prophecies against the Philistines
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 47
|
|
1. This is the word of the Lord that came to the prophet Jeremiah about the Philistines before Pharaoh defeated Gaza.
|
|
2. This is what the Lord says:
|
|
Look, water is rising from the north
|
|
and becoming an overflowing wadi.
|
|
It will overflow the land and everything in it,
|
|
the cities and their inhabitants.
|
|
The people will cry out,
|
|
and every inhabitant of the land will wail.
|
|
|
|
3. At the sound of the stomping hooves of his stallions,
|
|
the rumbling of his chariots,
|
|
and the clatter of their wheels,
|
|
fathers will not turn back for their sons.
|
|
They will be utterly helpless
|
|
|
|
4. on account of the day that is coming
|
|
to destroy all the Philistines,
|
|
to cut off from Tyre and Sidon
|
|
every remaining ally.
|
|
|
|
Indeed, the Lord is about to destroy the Philistines,
|
|
the remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.
|
|
|
|
5. Baldness is coming to Gaza;
|
|
Ashkelon will become silent.
|
|
Remnant of their valley,
|
|
how long will you gash yourself?
|
|
|
|
6. Oh, sword of the Lord!
|
|
How long will you be restless?
|
|
Go back to your sheath;
|
|
be still; be silent!
|
|
|
|
7. How can it rest
|
|
when the Lord has given it a command?
|
|
He has assigned it
|
|
against Ashkelon and the shore of the sea.
