Jeremiah 47:6

6 “Now, O sword of the LORD, when will you be at rest again? Go back into your sheath; rest and be still.

Jeremiah 47:6 In-Context

4 “The time has come for the Philistines to be destroyed, along with their allies from Tyre and Sidon. Yes, the LORD is destroying the remnant of the Philistines, those colonists from the island of Crete.
5 Gaza will be humiliated, its head shaved bald; Ashkelon will lie silent. You remnant from the Mediterranean coast, how long will you cut yourselves in mourning?
6 “Now, O sword of the LORD, when will you be at rest again? Go back into your sheath; rest and be still.
7 “But how can it be still when the LORD has sent it on a mission? For the city of Ashkelon and the people living along the sea must be destroyed.”
