Prophecy against Philistia
1 That which came as the word of the Loʀᴅ to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the AJer 25:20; Zech 9:6Philistines, before Pharaoh 1Lit smoteconquered BGen 10:19; 1 Kin 4:24; Jer 25:20; Amos 1:6; Zeph 2:4Gaza. 2 Thus says the Loʀᴅ:
“Behold, waters are going to rise from AIs 14:31; Jer 1:14; 6:22; 46:20, 24the north
And become an overflowing torrent,
And BIs 8:7, 8overflow the land and all its fullness,
The city and those who live in it;
And the men will CIs 15:2-5; Jer 46:12cry out,
And every inhabitant of the land will wail.
3 “Because of the noise of the 1Lit stamping of theAJudg 5:22; Jer 8:16; Nah 3:2galloping hoofs of his 2Lit mighty onesstallions,
The tumult of his chariots, and the rumbling of his wheels,
The fathers have not turned back for their children,
Because of the limpness of their hands,
4 On account of the day that is coming
To AIs 14:31destroy all the Philistines,
To cut off from BIs 23:5; Jer 25:22; Joel 3:4; Amos 1:9, 10; Zech 9:2-4Tyre and Sidon
Every ally that is left;
For the Loʀᴅ is going to destroy the Philistines,
The remnant of the coastland of CGen 10:14; Deut 2:23; Amos 9:7Caphtor.
5 “AJer 48:37; Mic 1:16Baldness has come upon Gaza;
BJudg 1:18; Jer 25:20; Amos 1:7, 8; Zeph 2:4, 7; Zech 9:5Ashkelon has been ruined.
O remnant of their valley,
How long will you CJer 16:6; 41:5gash yourself?
6 “Ah, AJudg 7:20; Jer 12:12; Ezek 21:3-5sword of the Loʀᴅ,
How long will you not be quiet?
Withdraw into your sheath;
Be at rest and stay still.
7 “How can 1Lit youit be quiet,
When the Loʀᴅ has AIs 10:6; Ezek 14:17given it an order?
Against Ashkelon and against the seacoast—
There He has BMic 6:9assigned it.”
