The destruction of the Philistines.
|
  47:1 ¶
THUS SAITH THE LORD AGAINST THE PHILISTINES; |
|
47:1 ¶
The word°
of Yahweh°
that°
came°
to°
Jeremiah°
the prophet°
against°
the Philistines,°
before°
that Pharaoh°
smote°°°
Gaza.° |
|
47:2
Behold, waters come up from the north, and shall become a sweeping torrent, and it shall sweep away the land, and its fulness; the city, and them that dwell in it: and men shall cry and all that dwell in the land shall howl, |
|
47:2
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
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.°° |
|
47:3
at the sound of his rushing, at [the sound of] his hoofs, and at the rattling of his chariots, at the noise of his wheels: the fathers turned not to their children because of the weakness of their hands, |
|
47:3
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;° |
|
47:4
in the day that is coming to destroy all the Philistines: and I will utterly destroy Tyre and Zidon{gr.Sidon} and all the rest of their allies: for the Lord will destroy the remaining [inhabitants] of the islands. |
|
47:4
Because of°
the day°
that cometh°°
to spoil°°°
all°
the Philistines,°
[and] to cut off°°
from Tyrus°
and Zidon°
every°
helper°°
that remaineth:°
for°
Yahweh°
will spoil°°°
the Philistines,°
the remnant°
of the country°
of Caphtor.° |
|
47:5
Baldness is come upon Gaza; Askelon{gr.Ascalon} is cast away, and the remnant of the Anakim{gr.Enakim}. |
|
47:5
Baldness°
is come°°
upon°
Gaza;°
Ashkelon°
is cut off°°
[with] the remnant°
of their valley:°
how long°°
wilt thou cut°°
thyself?° |
|
47:6
How long wilt thou smite, O sword of the Lord? how long will it be ere thou art quiet? return into thy sheath, rest, and be removed. |
|
47:6
O°
thou sword°
of Yahweh,°
how long°°
[will it be] ere°
thou be quiet?°°
put up°°
thyself°
into°
thy scabbard,°
rest,°°
and be still.°° |
|
47:7
How shall it be quiet, whereas the Lord has given it a commission against Askelon{gr.Ascalon}, and against the regions on the sea-coast, to awake against the remaining [countries]! |
|
47:7
How°
can it be quiet,°°
seeing Yahweh°
hath given it a charge°°
against°
Ashkelon,°
and against°
the sea°
shore?°
there°
hath he appointed°°
it. |
