Jeremiah 47:3-5
Common English Bible
Jeremiah 47:3-5
Common English Bible
3 At the pounding of the stallions’ hooves,
at the deafening roar of the chariots’ wheels,
parents abandon children,
so paralyzed are they with fear.
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]

their hands will hang limp.(B)

to destroy all the Philistines
and to remove all survivors
who could help Tyre(C) and Sidon.(D)

how long will you cut(I) yourselves?
