KJV Jeremiah Chapter 47
1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza. 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. 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; 4 Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, |and| to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD 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 wilt thou cut thyself? 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. 7 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.
