The word
of the LORD
that came to Jeremiah
the prophet
against the Philistines,
before that Pharaoh
smote
Gaza.
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.

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;

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.
Baldness
is come
upon Gaza;
Ashkelon
is cut off
with the remnant
of their valley:
how long wilt thou cut
thyself?
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.
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.
