47:1 The
word
of
Jehovah
that
came
to
Jeremiah
the
prophet
concerning
the
Philistines,
before
that
Pharaoh
smote
Gaza.
47:2 Thus
saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
waters
rise
up
out
of
the
north,
and
shall
become
an
overflowing
stream,
and
shall
overflow
the
land
and
all
that
is
therein,
the
city
and
them
that
dwell
therein;
and
the
men
shall
cry,
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
shall
wail.
47:3 At
the
noise
of
the
stamping
of
the
hoofs
of
his
strong
ones,
at
the
rushing
of
his
chariots,
at
the
rumbling
of
his
wheels,
the
fathers
look
not
back
to
their
children
for
feebleness
of
hands;
47:4 because
of
the
day
that
cometh
to
destroy
all
the
Philistines,
to
cut
off
from
Tyre
and
Sidon
every
helper
that
remaineth:
for
Jehovah
will
destroy
the
Philistines,
the
remnant
of
the
isle
of
Caphtor.
47:5 Baldness
is
come
upon
Gaza;
Ashkelon
is
brought
to
nought,
the
remnant
of
their
valley:
how
long
wilt
thou
cut
thyself
47:6 O
thou
sword
of
Jehovah,
how
long
will
it
be
ere
thou
be
quiet
put
up
thyself
into
thy
scabbard;
rest,
and
be
still.
47:7 How
canst
thou
be
quiet,
seeing
Jehovah
hath
given
thee
a
charge
Against
Ashkelon,
and
against
the
sea-shore,
there
hath
he
appointed
it.
