Jeremiah 47:4-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 47
4Because 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. 5Baldness has come upon Gaza; Ashkelon has been destroyed. Remnant of their valley, How long will you gash yourself? 6Ah, sword of the Lord, How long will you not be quiet? Withdraw into your sheath; Rest and stay still. 7How can it be quiet, When the Lord has given it an order? Against Ashkelon and against the sea shore— There He has summoned it.'King James Version
Chapter 47
4Because 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. 5Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself? 6O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still. 7How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.Christian Standard Bible

4because 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. 5Baldness has come upon Gaza; Ashkelon has perished. O remnant of their valley, how long will you gash yourselves? 6Ah, sword of the LORD! How long till you are quiet? Put yourself into your scabbard; rest and be still! 7How can it be quiet when the LORD has given it a charge? Against Ashkelon and against the seashore he has appointed it.”New International Version
5Gaza 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.'
7But how can it rest when the LORD has commanded it, when he has ordered it to attack Ashkelon and the coast?'
