[1<sup>↗](Jeremiah%2047%20FSI.md#^jer47-1) THE word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza. ^1
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. ^2
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; ^3
4 Because of the day that comes to spoil all the Philistines, _and_ to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remains: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor. ^4
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off _with_ the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself? ^5
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. ^6
7 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD has given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there has he appointed it. ^7
