Jeremiah 47

Common English Bible CEB

1 The LORD's word to the prophet Jeremiah concerning the Philistines before Pharaoh conquered Gaza.

2 The LORD proclaims: Waters are rising from the north and turning into a raging flood. They will engulf the land and everything in it, the towns and those living in them. The people cry out; all who live there scream.

3 At the pounding of the stallions' hooves, at the deafening roar of the chariots' wheels, parents abandon children, so paralyzed are they with fear.

4 Because the time is coming for the Philistines' destruction, for cutting off from Tyre and Sidon anyone who might try to save Gaza, because the LORD will destroy the Philistines, the few left from the island of Caphtor.

5 Mourning will come upon Gaza; silence will cover Ashkelon, the few left in their valley. How long will you gash yourselves in grief?

6 You sword of the LORD, how long until you are silent? Return to your sheath; rest and be still!

7 How can you be silent when the LORD has directed you to attack Ashkelon and the coast line?

New Revised Standard NRS

1 The word of the Lord that came to the prophet Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh attacked Gaza:

2 Thus says the Lord: See, waters are rising out of the north and shall become an overflowing torrent; they shall overflow the land and all that fills it, the city and those who live in it. People shall cry out, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.

3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his stallions, at the clatter of his chariots, at the rumbling of their wheels, parents do not turn back for children, so feeble are their hands,

4 because of the day that is coming to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper that remains. For the Lord is destroying the Philistines, the remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.

5 Baldness has come upon Gaza, Ashkelon is silenced. O remnant of their power! How long will you gash yourselves?

6 Ah, sword of the Lord! How long until you are quiet? Put yourself into your scabbard, rest and be still!

7 How can it be quiet, when the Lord has given it an order? Against Ashkelon and against the seashore— there he has appointed it.
