Jeremiah 47:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁶ “ ‘Sword of the Lord!’ you cry out.
    ‘How long will it be until you rest?
Return to the place you came from.
    Stop killing us! 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 Philistine coast.”
