1 The word of the LORD [Yahweh] that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.
2 Thus says the LORD [Yahweh]; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and will be an overflowing flood, and will overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men will cry, and all the inhabitants of the land will howl.
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 will not look back to [their] children for feebleness of hands;
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 [Yahweh] will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off [with] the remnant of their valley: how long will you cut yourself?
6 O you sword of the LORD [Yahweh], how long [will it be] ere you be quiet? put up yourself into your scabbard, rest, and be still.
7 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD [Yahweh] has given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there has he appointed it.
