PROPHECIES AGAINST THE PHILISTINES
47 This is the word of the Lord that came to the prophet Jeremiah about the Philistinesn before Pharaoh defeated Gaza.o 2 This is what the Lord says:
Look, water is rising from the northp
and becoming an overflowing wadi.
It will overflow the land and everything in it,q
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,r
the rumbling of his chariots,
and the clatter of their wheels,s
fathers will not turn back for their sons.
They will be utterly helplessD
4 on account of the day that is coming
to destroy all the Philistines,
to cut off from Tyre and Sidon
every remaining ally.t
Indeed, the Lord is about to destroy the Philistines,
the remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.E,u
5 Baldnessv is coming to Gaza;
Ashkelon will become silent.w
Remnant of their valley,
how long will you gash yourself?
6 Oh, sword of the Lord!x
How long will you be restless?
Go back to your sheath;
be still; be silent!
7 How can itF rest
when the Lord has given it a command?y
He has assigned itz

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
