Jeremiah 47

A Message Concerning the Philistines

1The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines before Pharaoh attacked Gaza.[#Literally “at not yet”]

2Thus says Yahweh:

“Look, waters are rising from the north,

and they will overflow the land,

And the people will cry out,

3from the sound of the stamping of the hoofs of his stallions,

Fathers do not turn to their children

4Because of the day that is coming

to cut off from Tyre and from Sidon

for Yahweh is destroying the Philistines,

5Baldness has come upon Gaza,

O remnant of their valley,

6Ah, sword of Yahweh,

Gather to your sheath,

7How can you be quiet

Against Ashkelon and against the shore of the sea,
