Jeremiah 47 (New Living Translation)
1
This is the LORD's message to the prophet Jeremiah concerning the Philistines of Gaza, before it was captured by the Egyptian army.
2
This is what the LORD says: "A flood is coming from the north to overflow the land. It will destroy the land and everything in it – cities and people alike. People will scream in terror, and everyone in the land will weep.
3
Hear the clatter of hooves and the rumble of wheels as the chariots rush by. Terrified fathers run madly, without a backward glance at their helpless children.
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 Philistines, those colonists from Crete. a
5
The city of Gaza will be demolished; Ashkelon will lie in ruins. You remnant of the Mediterranean plain, b how long will you lament and mourn?
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 an errand? For the city of Ashkelon and the people living along the sea must be destroyed."
