2 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 waters4325 rise up5927 out of the north,4480 6828 and shall be1961 an overflowing7857 flood,5158 and shall overflow7857 the land,776 and all4393 that is therein; the city,5892 and them that dwell3427 therein: then the men120 shall cry,2199 and all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the land776 shall howl.3213

3 At the noise4480 6963 of the stamping8161 of the hooves6541 of his strong47 horses, at the rushing4480 7494 of his chariots,7393 and at the rumbling1995 of his wheels,1534 the fathers1 shall not3808 look back6437 to413 their children1121 for feebleness4480 7510 of hands;3027

4 Because of5921 the day3117 that cometh935 to spoil7703 853 all3605 the Philistines,6430 and to cut off3772 from Tyrus6865 and Zidon6721 every3605 helper5826 that remaineth:8300 for3588 the LORD3068 will spoil7703 853 the Philistines,6430 the remnant7611 of the country339 of Caphtor.3731

5 Baldness7144 is come935 upon413 Gaza;5804 Ashkelon831 is cut off1820 with the remnant7611 of their valley:6010 how long5704 4970 wilt thou cut thyself?1413

6 O1945 thou sword2719 of the LORD,3068 how long5704 575 will it be ere3808 thou be quiet?8252 put up thyself622 into413 thy scabbard,8593 rest,7280 and be still.1826

7 How349 can it be quiet,8252 seeing the LORD3068 hath given it a charge6680 against413 Ashkelon,831 and against413 the sea3220 shore?2348 there8033 hath he appointed3259 it.

Jeremiah

Chapter 47

1 THE word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smote Gaza.

2 Thus says the LORD: Behold, I am bringing young soldiers from the north, and they shall become like an overflowing flood, and they shall overflow the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell in it; then the men shall cry for help, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.

3 Because of the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of the horses of his mighty men and the rushing of his chariots and the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for the feebleness of their hands;

4 Behold, the day has come to plunder all the Philistines and to destroy Tyre and Sidon and every helper that remains; for the LORD will smite the Philistines, the remnant of the islands of Caphtor.

5 Slaughter has reached to Gaza, Ashkalon is destroyed, and all that is left of their habitation is taken.

6 O, sword of the LORD, how long will it be till you be quiet and cease from destruction? put up yourself into your scabbard, rest and be still.

7 How can it be quiet, when the LORD has given it a charge against Ashkalon and against the coastal cities? For against these places he has decreed punishment.
