Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
That
which
hath
been
the word of Jehovah
unto
Jeremiah concerning
the Philistines ,
before Pharaoh smiteth
Gaza :
This
is
the word of the
LORD
that
came
to
Jeremiah the prophet
about
the
Philistines before Pharaoh struck
down
Gaza .
`Thus
said
Jehovah
: Lo,
waters are coming
up
from the north ,
And have
been
for
an overflowing stream,
And
they overflow the land and its fulness
, The city,
and the
inhabitants in
it,
And
men
have
cried
out, And howled
hath
every
inhabitant
of
the land .
This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “See
how
the
waters are rising
from the north and becoming
an overflowing torrent.
They will
overflow the land and its fullness
, the cities
and their
inhabitants .
The
people
will
cry
out, and all
who
dwell
in
the land will
wail
From
the sound of the stamping
of
the
hoofs
of his
mighty
ones
, From
the rushing
of his
chariot
, the noise
of his
wheels ,
Fathers have
not turned
unto
sons ,
From
feebleness
of
hands ,
at
the sound of the galloping
hooves
of stallions
, the rumbling
of chariots
, and
the clatter
of their
wheels .
The
fathers will
not turn
back
for
their
sons ;
their
hands will
hang
limp.
Because
of
the day that
hath
come to spoil
all the Philistines, To cut off to
Tyre and to
Zidon
every helping
remnant
. For
Jehovah
is spoiling
the Philistines, The remnant of
the isle
of Caphtor.
For
the day has
come to destroy
all the Philistines, to cut off from
Tyre and Sidon
every remaining
ally
. Indeed,
the
LORD
is about
to
destroy
the Philistines, the remnant from
the coasts
of Caphtor.
Come
hath
baldness
unto
Gaza ,
Cut
off
hath
been
Ashkelon ,
O remnant of their valley, Till
when
dost
thou
cut
thyself
?
The
people
of
Gaza will
shave
their
heads
in
mourning;
Ashkelon will
be
silenced.
O remnant of their valley, how
long
will
you
gash
yourself
?
Ho
, sword of Jehovah
, till
when
art
thou
not
quiet
? Be
removed
unto
thy
sheath ,
rest
and
cease .
‘Alas
, O
sword of the
LORD
, how
long
until
you
rest
? Return
to
your
sheath ;
cease and
be
still!’
How shall
it be
quiet,
And
Jehovah
hath
given
a
charge
to
it ,
Against Ashkelon ,
and against
the sea
shore ?
There
hath
He
appointed
it!'
How can
it rest
when
the
LORD
has
commanded
it ?
He
has
appointed
it
against Ashkelon and the shore of
its
coastland.”
