Jeremiah 47 - New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB1995)

Prophecy against Philistia

47 That which came as the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the (A)Philistines, before Pharaoh [a]conquered (B)Gaza. 2 Thus says the Lord:

“Behold, waters are going to rise from (C)the north
And become an overflowing torrent,
And (D)overflow the land and all its fullness,
The city and those who live in it;
And the men will (E)cry out,
And every inhabitant of the land will wail.
3 “Because of the noise of the [b](F)galloping hoofs of his [c]stallions,
The tumult of his chariots, and the rumbling of his wheels,
The fathers have not turned back for their children,
Because of the limpness of their hands,
4 On account of the day that is coming
To (G)destroy all the Philistines,
To cut off from (H)Tyre and Sidon
Every ally that is left;
For the Lord is going to destroy the Philistines,
The remnant of the coastland of (I)Caphtor.
5 “(J)Baldness has come upon Gaza;
(K)Ashkelon has been ruined.
O remnant of their valley,
How long will you (L)gash yourself?
6 “Ah, (M)sword of the Lord,
How long will you not be quiet?
Withdraw into your sheath;
Be at rest and stay still.
7 “How can [d]it be quiet,
When the Lord has (N)given it an order?
Against Ashkelon and against the seacoast—
There He has (O)assigned it.”
