Jeremías 47:2

Listen to Jeremías 47:2
2 Así dice el SEÑOR: He aquí que suben aguas del norte y se convierten en torrente desbordante, que inunda la tierra y su plenitud, la ciudad y los que en ella habitan; clamarán los hombres, y gemirá todo habitante de la tierra

Jeremías 47:2 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 47:2

Thus saith the Lord, behold, waters rise up out of the north,
&c.] Meaning an army of men, which should come in great numbers, and with great force and rapidity, like an overflowing flood. So the Targum,

``behold, people shall come from the north;''
that is, from Chaldea, which lay north of Palestine: and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all
that is therein;
or, "the fulness of it" F21; the land of the Philistines, and carry off the men and cattle, and all the riches thereof; the city, and them that dwell therein;
not any particular or single city, as Gaza; but the several cities of Palestine, and the inhabitants of them: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl;
not being able to do anything else; not to defend themselves, their families, and property; and seeing nothing but ruin and destruction before their eyes.

Jeremías 47:2 In-Context

1 Palabra del SEÑOR que vino al profeta Jeremías acerca de los filisteos, antes que Faraón conquistara Gaza.
2 Así dice el SEÑOR: He aquí que suben aguas del norte y se convierten en torrente desbordante, que inunda la tierra y su plenitud, la ciudad y los que en ella habitan; clamarán los hombres, y gemirá todo habitante de la tierra
3 a causa del sonido de los cascos de sus corceles, del estruendo de sus carros y del estrépito de sus ruedas. No se vuelven los padres para cuidar a sus hijos, por la debilidad de sus brazos,
4 a causa del día que viene para destruir a todos los filisteos, para exterminar de Tiro y de Sidón a todo aliado que quede; porque el SEÑOR destruirá a los filisteos, al remanente de la costa de Caftor.
5 Le ha sobrevenido la calvicie a Gaza, desolada ha sido Ascalón. Remanente de su valle, ¿hasta cuándo te sajarás?
