Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

Switch Version:

¹ This is the word of the LORD that came to the prophet Jeremiah about the Philistines ⓕ before Pharaoh defeated Gaza. ⓖ

² This is what the LORD says: Look, water is rising from the north ⓗ and becoming an overflowing wadi. It will overflow the land and everything in it, ⓘ the cities and their inhabitants. The people will cry out, and every inhabitant of the land will wail.

³ At the sound of the stomping hooves of his stallions, ⓙ the rumbling of his chariots, and the clatter of their wheels, ⓚ fathers will not turn back for their sons. They will be utterly helpless [1]

⁴ on account of the day that is coming 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 of the coastland of Caphtor. [2] ⓜ

⁵ Baldness ⓝ is coming to Gaza; Ashkelon will become silent. ⓐ Remnant of their valley, how long will you gash yourself?

⁶ Oh, sword of the LORD! ⓑ How long will you be restless? Go back to your sheath; be still; be silent!

⁷ How can it [3] rest when the LORD has given it a command? ⓒ He has assigned it ⓓ against Ashkelon and the shore of the sea.
