Judgment on Philistia
“Behold, awaters rise bout 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.
At the rushing of his chariots,
At the rumbling of his wheels,
The fathers will not look back for their children,
1Lacking courage,
To cut off from bTyre and Sidon every helper who remains;
For the Lord shall plunder the Philistines,
cThe remnant of the country of dCaphtor.
bAshkelon is cut off
With the remnant of their valley.
How long will you cut yourself?
How long until you are quiet?
Put yourself up into your scabbard,
Rest and be still!

Jeremiah 47:1-7
The calamities of the Philistines.
- The Philistines had always been enemies to Israel; but the Chaldean army shall overflow their land like a deluge. Those whom God will spoil, must be spoiled. For when the Lord intends to destroy the wicked, he will cut off every helper. So deplorable are the desolations of war, that the blessings of peace are most desirable. But we must submit to His appointments who ordains all in perfect wisdom and justice.
