Jeremiah 47

1The wordH1697 of Jehovah that came to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 concerningH413 the PhilistinesH6430, before that PharaohH6547 smote GazaH5804.

2ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Behold, watersH4325 rise up out of the northH6828, and shall becomeH1961 an overflowingH7857 stream, and shall overflowH7857 the landH776 and all that is therein, the cityH5892 and them that dwellH3427 therein; and the menH120 shall cryH2199, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 shall wailH3213. 3At the noise of the stamping of the hoofsH6541 of his strong onesH47, at the rushing of his chariotsH7393, at the rumbling of his wheelsH1534, the fathersH1 look not backH6437 to their children for feebleness of handsH3027; 4because of the dayH3117 that cometh to destroyH7703 all the PhilistinesH6430, to cutH3772 off from TyreH6865 and SidonH6721 every helperH5826 that remaineth: for Jehovah will destroyH7703 the PhilistinesH6430, the remnantH7611 of the isle of CaphtorH3731. 5BaldnessH7144 is comeH935 upon GazaH5804; AshkelonH831 is broughtH935 to nought, the remnantH7611 of their valleyH6010: how long wilt thou cut thyself? 6O thou swordH2719 of Jehovah, how long will it be ere thou be quietH8252? put up thyself into thy scabbard; rest, and be still. 7HowH349 canst thou be quietH8252, seeing Jehovah hath given thee a charge? Against AshkelonH831, and against the sea-shore, there hath he appointedH6680 it.
