47:1 THUS SAITH THE LORD AGAINST THE
PHILISTINES;
47:2 Behold, waters come up from the north, and shall become a sweeping
torrent, and it shall sweep away the land, and its fulness; the city, and
them that dwell in it: and men shall cry and all that dwell in the land
shall howl,
47:3 at the sound of his rushing, at [the sound of] his hoofs, and at the
rattling of his chariots, at the noise of his wheels: the fathers turned not
to their children because of the weakness of their hands,
47:4 in the day that is coming to destroy all the Philistines: and I will
utterly destroy Tyre and Sidon and all the rest of their allies: for the
Lord will destroy the remaining [inhabitants] of the islands.
47:5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ascalon is cast away, and the remnant of
the Enakim.
47:6 How long wilt thou smite, O sword of the Lord? how long will it be ere
thou art quiet? return into thy sheath, rest, and be removed.
47:7 How shall it be quiet, whereas the Lord has given it a commission
against Ascalon, and against the regions on the sea-coast, to awake against
the remaining [countries]! |
47:1 The word of the LORD that came to
Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote
Gaza.
47:2 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall
be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is
therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and
all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.
47:3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the
rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers
shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;
47:4 Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut
off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will
spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
47:5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of
their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
47:6 O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up
thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
47:7 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against
Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it. |
