The Prophecy
of Jeremias 47
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the prophet
against the people of Palestine, before Pharao took
Gaza.
Thus saith the Lord: Behold there come up waters out
of the north, and they shall be as an overflowing torrent,
and they shall cover the land, and all that is therein,
the city and the inhabitants thereof: then the men shall
cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl,
At the noise of the marching of arms, and of his soldiers,
at the rushing of his chariots, and the multitude of
his wheels. The fathers have not looked back to the
children, for feebleness of hands,
Because of the coming of the day, in which all the Philistines
shall be laid waste, and Tyre and Sidon shall be destroyed,
with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord hath
wasted the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Cappadocia.
Baldness is come upon Gaza: Ascalon hath held her peace
with the remnant of their valley: how long shalt thou
cut thyself?
O thou sword of the Lord, how long wilt thou not be
quiet? Go into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
How shall it be quiet, when the Lord hath given it a
charge against Ascalon, and against the countries thereof
by the sea side, and there hath made an appointment
for it? |
