Jeremiah 47:5-7
Common English Bible
5 Mourning[a] will come upon Gaza;
silence will cover Ashkelon,
the few left in their valley.
How long will you gash yourselves in grief?[b]
6 You sword of the Lord,
how long until you are silent?
Return to your sheath;
rest and be still!
7 How can you be silent
when the Lord has directed you[c]
to attack Ashkelon and the coast line?
