Jeremiah 47:2-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 47
2
This is what the
Lord
says:
'Behold, waters are going to rise from the north
And become an overflowing torrent,
And overflow the land and everything that is in it,
The city and those who live in it;
And the people will cry out,
And every inhabitant of the land will wail.
3
Because of the noise of the galloping hoofs of his 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 destroy all the Philistines,
To eliminate from Tyre and Sidon
Every surviving ally;
For the
Lord
is going to destroy the Philistines,
The remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.
5
Baldness has come upon Gaza;
Ashkelon has been destroyed.
Remnant of their valley,
How long will you gash yourself?
6
Ah, sword of the
Lord
,
How long will you not be quiet?
Withdraw into your sheath;
Rest and stay still.
King James Version
Chapter 47
2
Thus saith the
Lord
; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.
3
At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;
4
Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the
Lord
will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
5
Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
6
O thou sword of the
Lord
, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 47
2
This is what the
Lord
says:
Look, water is rising from the north
and becoming an overflowing wadi.
It will overflow the land and everything in it,
the cities and their inhabitants.
The people will cry out,
and every inhabitant of the land will wail.
3
At the sound of the stomping hooves of his stallions,
the rumbling of his chariots,
and the clatter of their wheels,
fathers will not turn back for their sons.
They will be utterly helpless
4
on account of the day that is coming
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 of the coastland of Caphtor.
5
Baldness is coming to Gaza;
Ashkelon will become silent.
Remnant of their valley,
how long will you gash yourself?
6
Oh, sword of the
Lord
!
How long will you be restless?
Go back to your sheath;
be still; be silent!
New Living Translation
Chapter 47
2
This is what the
Lord
says:
'A flood is coming from the north
to overflow the land.
It will destroy the land and everything in it —
cities and people alike.
People will scream in terror,
and everyone in the land will wail.
3
Hear the clatter of stallions’ hooves
and the rumble of wheels as the chariots rush by.
Terrified fathers run madly,
without a backward glance at their helpless children.
4
'The time has come for the Philistines to be destroyed,
along with their allies from Tyre and Sidon.
Yes, the
Lord
is destroying the remnant of the Philistines,
those colonists from the island of Crete.
5
Gaza will be humiliated, its head shaved bald;
Ashkelon will lie silent.
You remnant from the Mediterranean coast,
how long will you cut yourselves in mourning?
6
'Now, O sword of the
Lord
,
when will you be at rest again?
Go back into your sheath;
rest and be still.
English Standard Version
Chapter 47
2
"Thus says the
Lord
:
Behold, waters are rising out of the north,
and shall become an overflowing torrent;
they shall overflow the land and all that fills it,
the city and those who dwell in it.
Men shall cry out,
and every inhabitant of the land shall wail.
3
At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his stallions,
at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of their wheels,
the fathers look not back to their children,
so feeble are their hands,
4
because of the day that is coming to destroy
all the Philistines,
to cut off from Tyre and Sidon
every helper that remains.
For the
Lord
is destroying the Philistines,
the remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.
5
Baldness has come upon Gaza;
Ashkelon has perished.
O remnant of their valley,
how long will you gash yourselves?
6
Ah, sword of the
Lord
!
How long till you are quiet?
Put yourself into your scabbard;
rest and be still!
New International Version
Chapter 47
2
This is what the
Lord
says:
"See how the waters are rising in the north;
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
3
at the sound of the hooves of galloping steeds,
at the noise of enemy chariots
and the rumble of their wheels.
Parents will not turn to help their children;
their hands will hang limp.
4
For the day has come
to destroy all the Philistines
and to remove all survivors
who could help Tyre and Sidon.
The
Lord
is about to destroy the Philistines,
the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.
5
Gaza will shave her head in mourning;
Ashkelon will be silenced.
You remnant on the plain,
how long will you cut yourselves?
6
" ‘Alas, sword of the
Lord
,
how long till you rest?
Return to your sheath;
cease and be still.’
New King James Version
Chapter 47
2
Thus says the
Lord
:
“Behold, waters rise out of the north,
And shall be an overflowing flood;
They shall overflow the land and all that is in it,
The city and those who dwell within;
Then the men shall cry,
And all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.
3
At the noise of the stamping hooves of his strong horses,
At the rushing of his chariots,
At
the rumbling of his wheels,
The fathers will not look back for
their
children,
Lacking courage,
4
Because of the day that comes to plunder all the Philistines,
To cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains;
For the
Lord
shall plunder the Philistines,
The remnant of the country of Caphtor.
5
Baldness has come upon Gaza,
Ashkelon is cut off
With
the remnant of their valley.
How long will you cut yourself?
6
“O you sword of the
Lord
,
How long until you are quiet?
Put yourself up into your scabbard,
Rest and be still!
