Jeremiah 47

⁴ For the day has come to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every remaining ally. Indeed, the LORD is about to destroy the Philistines, the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.

⁵ The people of Gaza will shave their heads in mourning; Ashkelon will be silenced. O remnant of their valley, how long will you gash yourself?

⁶ ‘Alas, O sword of the LORD, how long until you rest? Return to your sheath; cease and be still!’

⁷ How can it rest when the LORD has commanded it? He has appointed it against Ashkelon and the shore of its coastland.”
