A Message About the Philistines
47 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistinesg before Pharaoh attacked Gaza:h
“See how the waters are rising in the north;i
they will become an overflowing torrent.
They will overflow the land and everything in it,
the towns and those who live in them.
The people will cry out;
all who dwell in the land will wailj
3 at the sound of the hooves of galloping steeds,
at the noise of enemy chariotsk
and the rumble of their wheels.
Parents will not turn to help their children;
their hands will hang limp.l
to destroy all the Philistines
and to remove all survivors
who could help Tyrem and Sidon.n
The Lord is about to destroy the Philistines,o
the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.a p
5 Gaza will shaveq her head in mourning;
Ashkelonr will be silenced.
You remnant on the plain,
how long will you cuts yourselves?
6 “ ‘Alas, swordt of the Lord,
how long till you rest?
Return to your sheath;
cease and be still.’u
when the Lord has commanded it,
when he has ordered it
to attack Ashkelon and the coast?”v
