\v 1 This is the word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines. This word came to him before Pharoah attacked Gaza.

\q
|

|
|
\v 2 “Yahweh says this: See, floods of water are rising in the north. They will be like an overflowing river!
|
|||
|
|
\q Then they will overflow the land and everything in it, its cities and its inhabitants! So everyone will shout for help,
|
|||
|
|
\q and all the inhabitants of the land will lament.

\q

\v 3 At the sound of the stamping of their strong horses’ hooves,
|
|||
|
|
\q At the roar of their chariots and the noise of their wheels,
|
|||
|
|
\q Fathers will not help their children because of their own weakness.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 4 For the day is coming that will devastate all of the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon
|
|||
|
|
\q every survivor who wants to help them. For Yahweh is devastating the Philistines,
|
|||
|
|
\q those who remain from the island of Caphtor.

\v 5 Baldness will come upon Gaza. As for Ashkelon, the people who are left in their valley will be made silent.
|
|||
|
|
How long will you cut yourself in mourning?
|
|||
|
|
\v 6 Woe, sword of Yahweh! How long will it be until you become silent?
|
|||
|
|
\q Go back to your scabbard! Stop and be silent.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 7 How can you be quiet, for Yahweh has commanded you.
|
|||
|
|
\q He has summoned you to attack Ashkelon and against the coastlands along the sea."
