Jeremiah 47:4-6
Common English Bible
4 Because the time is coming
for the Philistines’ destruction,
for cutting off from Tyre and Sidon
anyone who might try to save Gaza,[a]
because the Lord will destroy the Philistines,
the few left from the island of Caphtor.
5 Mourning[b] will come upon Gaza;
silence will cover Ashkelon,
the few left in their valley.
How long will you gash yourselves in grief?[c]
6 You sword of the Lord,
how long until you are silent?
Return to your sheath;
rest and be still!
