* The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines , before Pharaoh attacked Gaza . * Thus says the LORD : "Behold , waters rise out of the north , And shall be an overflowing flood ; They shall overflow the land and all that is in it , The city and those who dwell within ; Then the men shall cry , And all the inhabitants of the land shall wail . * At the noise of the stamping hooves of his strong horses , At the rushing of his chariots , At the rumbling of his wheels , The fathers will not look back for their children , Lacking courage , * Because of the day that comes to plunder all the Philistines , To cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains ; For the LORD shall plunder the Philistines , The remnant of the country of Caphtor . * Baldness has come upon Gaza , Ashkelon is cut off With the remnant of their valley . How long will you cut yourself ? * "O you sword of the LORD , How long until you are quiet ? Put yourself up into your scabbard , Rest and be still ! * How can it be quiet , Seeing the LORD has given it a charge Against Ashkelon and against the seashore ? There He has appointed it ."
