* The word of Jehovah that came to the prophet Jeremiah concerning the Philistines , before Pharaoh smote Gazah . * Thus saith Jehovah : Behold , waters rise up out of the north , and shall become an overflowing flood , and shall overflow the land , and all that is therein ; the city , and them that dwell therein : and the men shall cry , and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl , * at the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his steeds , at the rushing of his chariots , at the rumbling of his wheels : fathers shall not look back for [their ] children , from feebleness of hands ; * because of the day that cometh to lay waste all the Philistines , to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper that remaineth ; for Jehovah will lay waste the Philistines , the remnant of the island of Caphtor . * Baldness is come upon Gazah ; Ashkelon is cut off , the remnant of their valley : how long wilt thou cut thyself ? * Alas ! sword of Jehovah , how long wilt thou not be quiet ? Withdraw into thy scabbard , rest , and be still . * How shouldest thou be quiet ? -- For Jehovah hath given it a charge : against Ashkelon , and against the sea shore , there hath he appointed it .
