Jeremiah 47
1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before Pharaoh smote Gaza.
| אֲשֶׁר הָיָה דְבַר־יְהוָה אֶל־יִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא אֶל־פְּלִשְׁתִּים בְּטֶרֶם יַכֶּה פַרְעֹה אֶת־עַזָּֽה׃ |
2 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is in it; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.
| כֹּה ׀ אָמַר יְהוָה הִנֵּה־מַיִם עֹלִים מִצָּפוֹן וְהָיוּ לְנַחַל שׁוֹטֵף וְיִשְׁטְפוּ אֶרֶץ וּמְלוֹאָהּ עִיר וְיֹשְׁבֵי בָהּ וְזָֽעֲקוּ הָֽאָדָם וְהֵילִל כֹּל יוֹשֵׁב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
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:
| מִקּוֹל שַֽׁעֲטַת פַּרְסוֹת אַבִּירָיו מֵרַעַשׁ לְרִכְבּוֹ הֲמוֹן גַּלְגִּלָּיו לֹֽא־הִפְנוּ אָבוֹת אֶל־בָּנִים מֵֽרִפְיוֹן יָדָֽיִם׃ |
4 Because of the day that cometh to lay waste all the Philistines, [and] to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will lay waste the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
| עַל־הַיּוֹם הַבָּא לִשְׁדוֹד אֶת־כָּל־פְּלִשְׁתִּים לְהַכְרִית לְצֹר וּלְצִידוֹן כֹּל שָׂרִיד עֹזֵר כִּֽי־שֹׁדֵד יְהוָה אֶת־פְּלִשְׁתִּים שְׁאֵרִית אִי כַפְתּֽוֹר׃ |
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off [with] the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
| בָּאָה קָרְחָה אֶל־עַזָּה נִדְמְתָה אַשְׁקְלוֹן שְׁאֵרִית עִמְקָם עַד־מָתַי תִּתְגּוֹדָֽדִי׃ |
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.
| הוֹי חֶרֶב לַֽיהוָה עַד־אָנָה לֹא תִשְׁקֹטִי הֵאָֽסְפִי אַל־תַּעְרֵךְ הֵרָגְעִי וָדֹֽמִּי׃ |
7 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.
| אֵיךְ תִּשְׁקֹטִי וַֽיהוָה צִוָּה־לָהּ אֶֽל־אַשְׁקְלוֹן וְאֶל־חוֹף הַיָּם שָׁם יְעָדָֽהּ׃ |
