1 # The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> that came to Jeremiah <03414> the prophet <05030> against the Philistines <06430> , before that Pharaoh <06547> smote <05221> (8686) Gaza <05804>.
2 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Behold, waters <04325> rise up <05927> (8802) out of the north <06828>, and shall be an overflowing <07857> (8802) flood <05158>, and shall overflow <07857> (8799) the land <0776> , and all that is therein <04393>; the city <05892>, and them that dwell <03427> (8802) therein: then the men <0120> shall cry <02199> (8804), and all the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the land <0776> shall howl <03213> (8689).
3 At the noise <06963> of the stamping <08161> of the hoofs <06541> of his strong <047> horses, at the rushing <07494> of his chariots <07393>, and at the rumbling <01995> of his wheels <01534>, the fathers <01> shall not look back <06437> (8689) to their children <01121> for feebleness <07510> of hands <03027>;
4 Because of the day <03117> that cometh <0935> (8802) to spoil <07703> (8800) all the Philistines <06430> , and to cut off <03772> (8687) from Tyrus <06865> and Zidon <06721> every helper <05826> (8802) that remaineth <08300>: for the LORD <03068> will spoil <07703> (8802) the Philistines <06430>, the remnant <07611> of the country <0339> of Caphtor <03731>.
5 Baldness <07144> is come <0935> (8804) upon Gaza <05804>; Ashkelon <0831> is cut off <01820> (8738) with the remnant <07611> of their valley <06010>: how long wilt thou cut <01413> (8704) thyself?
6 O <01945> thou sword <02719> of the LORD <03068>, how long will it be ere <03808> thou be quiet <08252> (8799)? put up <0622> (8734) thyself into thy scabbard <08593>, rest <07280> (8734), and be still <01826> (8798).
7 How can it be quiet <08252> (8799), seeing the LORD <03068> hath given it a charge <06680> (8765) against Ashkelon <0831>, and against the sea <03220> shore <02348>? there hath he appointed <03259> (8804) it.
