Jeremiah 47
1Yahweh’s word that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Gaza.
2Yahweh says:
and will become an overflowing stream,
and will overflow the land and all that is therein,
the city and those who dwell therein.
The men will cry,
and all the inhabitants of the land will wail.
at the rushing of his chariots,
at the rumbling of his wheels,
the fathers don’t look back to their children
for feebleness of hands;
to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains;
for Yahweh will destroy the Philistines,
the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.
Ashkelon is brought to nothing,
the remnant of their valley:
how long will you cut yourself?
Put yourself back into your scabbard;
rest, and be still.’
since Yahweh has given you a command?
Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore,
there he has appointed it.”
