The Book of Jeremiah

Jer 47:1 The word of the Lord that came to Jer-e-mi´-ah the prophet against the Phi-lis´-tines, before that Pharaoh smote Ga´-za.

Jer 47:2 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.

Jer 47:3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;

Jer 47:4 Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Phi-lis´-tines, and to cut off from Ty´-rus and Zi´-don every helper that remaineth: for the Lord will spoil the Phi-lis´-tines, the remnant of the country of Caph´-tor.

Jer 47:5 Baldness is come upon Ga´-za; Ash´-ke-lon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?

Jer 47:6 O thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

Jer 47:7 How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord hath given it a charge against Ash´-ke-lon, and against the sea shore? there hath He appointed it.
