and her kings; even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him:
046:026 and I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives,
and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into
the hand of his servants; and afterwards it shall be inhabited,
as in the days of old, says Yahweh.
046:027 But don't be afraid you, Jacob my servant, neither be
dismayed, Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar,
and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob
shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall
make him afraid.
046:028 Don't be afraid you, O Jacob my servant, says Yahweh; for I
am with you: for I will make a full end of all the nations
where I have driven you; but I will not make a full end of you,
but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way
leave you unpunished.
047:001 The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning
the Philistines, before that Pharaoh struck Gaza.
047:002 Thus says Yahweh: Behold, waters rise up out of the north,
and shall become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow
the land and all that is therein, the city and those who
dwell therein; and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants
of the land shall wail.
047:003 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones,
at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels,
the fathers don't look back to their children for
feebleness of hands;
047:004 because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines,
to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains:
for Yahweh will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of
the isle of Caphtor.
047:005 Baldness is come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing,
the remnant of their valley: how long will you cut yourself?
047:006 You sword of Yahweh, how long will it be before you be quiet?
put up yourself into your scabbard; rest, and be still.
047:007 How can you be quiet, seeing Yahweh has given you a charge?
Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there has
he appointed it.
048:001 Of Moab. Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Woe to
Nebo! for it is laid waste; Kiriathaim is disappointed,
it is taken; Misgab is put to shame and broken down.
048:002 The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised
evil against her: Come, and let us cut her off from being
a nation. You also, Madmen, shall be brought to silence:
the sword shall pursue you.
048:003 The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!
048:004 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
048:005 For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up;
for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress
of the cry of destruction.
