JER-47:1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet

against the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.

JER-47:2 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.

JER-47:3 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;

JER-47:4 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.

JER-47:5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off [with]

the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?

JER-47:6 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.

JER-47:7 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.
