Jeremiah 47:2-4
Complete Jewish Bible
2 “Here is what Adonai says:
‘Water is rising out of the north;
it will become a flooding stream,
flooding the land and all that is in it,
the city and its inhabitants.
The people are crying out in alarm,
everyone in the land is weeping
3 at the thunderous pound of his stallions’ hoofs,
at his rattling chariots’ rumbling wheels.
Fathers fail to turn back for their children;
instead, their hands hang limp,
4 because the day has come
for destroying all the P’lishtim,
for cutting off from Tzor and Tzidon
the last of their allies;
for Adonai is destroying the P’lishtim,
the remnant from the island of Kaftor.

New International Version
2 This is what the Lord says:
“See how the waters are rising in the north;(A)
they will become an overflowing torrent.
They will overflow the land and everything in it,
the towns and those who live in them.
The people will cry out;
all who dwell in the land will wail(B)
3 at the sound of the hooves of galloping steeds,
at the noise of enemy chariots(C)
and the rumble of their wheels.
Parents will not turn to help their children;
their hands will hang limp.(D)
4 For the day has come
to destroy all the Philistines
and to remove all survivors
who could help Tyre(E) and Sidon.(F)
The Lord is about to destroy the Philistines,(G)
the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.[a](H)
