This is what the LORD says:

Look, water is rising from the north

and becoming an overflowing wadi.

The people will cry out,

and every inhabitant of the land will wail.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 47:3 -

At the sound of the stomping hooves of his stallions,

fathers will not turn back for their sons.

They will be utterly helpless[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 47:4 -

on account of the day that is coming

to destroy all the Philistines,

to cut off from Tyre and Sidon

every remaining ally.

the remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.[fn]

Baldness is coming to Gaza;

Ashkelon will become silent.

Remnant of their valley,

how long will you gash yourself?

Oh, sword of the LORD!

How long will you be restless?

Go back to your sheath;

be still; be silent!

How can it[fn] rest

when the LORD has given it a command?

He has assigned it

against Ashkelon and the shore of the sea.
