Jeremias Chapter 47 A prophecy of the desolation of the Philistines, of Tyre, Sidon, Gaza, and Ascalon. 47:1. The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the prophet against the people of Palestine, before Pharao took Gaza. 47:2. 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, 47:3. 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, 47:4.

Baldness is come upon Gaza: Ascalon hath held her peace with the remnant of their valley: how long shalt thou cut thyself? 47:6. O thou sword of the Lord, how long wilt thou not be quiet? Go into thy scabbard, rest, and be still. 47:7. 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? Jeremias Chapter 48
