Jeremiah 47

47^*The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet ^aagainst the Philistines, ^bbefore that Pharaoh smote ^†Gaza.

²Thus saith the Lord;

Behold, ^cwaters rise up ^dout 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.

³At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of ^ehis strong horses,

At ^fthe rushing of his chariots,

And at the rumbling of his wheels,

The fathers shall not ^glook back to their children

For feebleness of hands;

⁴Because of the day that cometh to spoil all ^hthe Philistines,

And to cut off from ^hiTyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth:

For the Lord will spoil the Philistines,

^kThe remnant of ^†the country of ^lCaphtor.

^5mBaldness is come upon Gaza;

ⁿAshkelon ^ois cut off with the remnant of their valley:

How long wilt thou ^pcut thyself?

⁶O ^qthou sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet?

^†Put up thyself into ^qthy scabbard, ^rrest, and ^sbe still.

^7†How can it be quiet, seeing ^tthe Lord hath given it a charge

Against ⁿAshkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he ^uappointed it.
