Jeremiah 47

(Zephaniah 2:4–7)

1This is the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 thatH834 cameH1961 toH413 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 aboutH413 the PhilistinesH6430 beforeH2962 PharaohH6547 struck downH5221 GazaH5804. 2This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:

“See howH2009 the watersH4325 are risingH5927 from the northH6828and becomingH1961 an overflowingH7857 torrentH5158.They will overflowH7857 the landH776 and its fullnessH4393,the citiesH5892 and their inhabitantsH3427.The peopleH120 will cry outH2199,and allH3605 who dwellH3427 in the landH776 will wailH32133at the soundH6963 of the gallopingH8161 hoovesH6541 of stallionsH47,the rumblingH7494 of chariotsH7393,and the clatterH1995 of their wheelsH1534.The fathersH1 will notH3808 turn backH6437 forH413 their sonsH1121;their handsH3027 will hang limpH7510.

4ForH5921 the dayH3117 has comeH935to destroyH7703 allH3605 the PhilistinesH6430,to cut offH3772 from TyreH6865 and SidonH6721everyH3605 remainingH8300 allyH5826.IndeedH3588, the LORDH3068 is about to destroyH7703 the PhilistinesH6430,the remnantH7611 from the coastsH339 of CaphtorH3731.15 The people of GazaH5804 will shave their heads in mourningH7144 ;AshkelonH831 will be silencedH1820.O remnantH7611 of their valleyH6010,2how longH5704 H4970 will you gash yourselfH1413?

6‘AlasH1945, O swordH2719 of the LORDH3068,how longH5704 H575 until you restH3808 H8252?ReturnH622 toH408 your sheathH8593;ceaseH7280 and be stillH1826!’

7HowH349 can it restH8252when the LORDH3068 has commandedH6680 it?He has appointed itH3259 againstH413 AshkelonH831 H413and the shoreH2348 of its coastlandH3220 H8033.”
