7 How can the sword of the LORD rest? The LORD has ordered it to attack Ashkelon and the coast. He has put it there.

Jeremiah 47:7 In-Context

5 Gaza will shave its head in mourning. Ashkelon will be destroyed. How long will you cut yourselves, you people left on the plains?
6 You cry out, "Sword of the LORD, how long will you keep on fighting? Go back into your scabbard. Stay there and rest!"
7 How can the sword of the LORD rest? The LORD has ordered it to attack Ashkelon and the coast. He has put it there.
