Jeremiah 47:2-4

2Thus says the Lord: “Behold, waters are going to rise out of the north (Babylonia) And become an overflowing stream And overflow the land and all that is in it, The city and those who live in it. Then the people will cry out, And all the inhabitants of the land [of Philistia] will wail.

3Because of the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of the war-horses [of the Babylonian king], The rattling of his chariots, and the rumbling of his wheels, The fathers have not looked and turned back for their children, So weak are their hands [with terror]

4Because of the day that is coming To destroy all the Philistines And to cut off from Tyre and Sidon Every ally who remains. For the Lord is going to destroy the Philistines, The remnant [still surviving] of the coastland of Caphtor.
