Jeremiah 47:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 This is what the Lord says:
“Behold, waters are going to rise from (A)the north
And become an overflowing torrent,
And (B)overflow the land and everything that is in it,
The city and those who live in it;
And the people will (C)cry out,
And every inhabitant of the land will wail.
3 Because of the noise of the [a](D)galloping hoofs of his [b]stallions,
The roar of his chariots, and the rumbling of his wheels,
The fathers have not turned back for their children,
Because of the debility of their hands,
4 Because of the day that is coming
To (E)destroy all the Philistines,
To eliminate from (F)Tyre and Sidon
Every surviving ally;
For the Lord is going to destroy the Philistines,
The remnant of the coastland of (G)Caphtor.

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)
