Jeremiah 47
2Thus saith the Lord: Behold, waters are coming from the north, and they shall become an overwhelming flood, and shall overwhelm the land and the fulness thereof-the cities and them who dwell therein: and the men shall utter the scream of distress, and all the inhabitants of the land, a doleful cry.
3At the sound of his impetuous onset; at the armour of his infantry; at the rushing of his chariots; the rumbling of his wheels; fathers looked not back on their children, by reason of the feebleness of their hands.
4In the day which is coming to destroy all the Philistines I will destroy also Tyre and Sidon and all the residue of their help. (p) For the Lord will utterly destroy the remnants in the isles,
5baldness is come upon Gaza: Askalon is overthrown and the remnant of Enakim.
6(c) How long wilt thou hew down, O sword of the Lord? How long will it be ere thou wilt rest? Return into thy scabbard, rest and be removed.
7(p) How can it rest when the Lord hath given it a charge against Askalon and the cities on the sea coast and to be lifted up against them whom remain?
