Jeremiah Chapter 47

¹The word of ForeverOne that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh struck Gaza.

²Thus says ForeverOne: Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell there; and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.

³At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers don't look back to their children for feebleness of hands; ⁴because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains: for ForeverOne will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.

⁵Baldness has come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing, the remnant of their valley: how long will you cut yourself?

⁶You sword of ForeverOne, how long will it be before you be quiet? Put up yourself into your scabbard; rest, and be still.

⁷How can you be quiet, since ForeverOne has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there has he appointed it.
