Jeremiah 47:5-7
New Century Version
Jeremiah 47:5-7
New Century Version
5 The people from the city of Gaza will be sad and shave their heads.
The people from the city of Ashkelon will be made silent.
Those left alive from the valley,
how long will you cut yourselves?[a]
6 “You cry, ‘Sword of the Lord,
how long will you keep fighting?
Return to your holder.
Stop and be still.’
7 But how can his sword rest
when the Lord has given it a command?
He has ordered it
to attack Ashkelon and the seacoast.”
