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!
Seeing the Lord has agiven it a charge
Against Ashkelon and against the seashore?
There He has bappointed it.”
| << Jeremiah 47:4 | Jeremiah 47:6 >> |
Jeremiah 47:5
The remnant - Those who lived in the valleys near Ashkelon. But thyself - Why will you afflict yourselves, when all your mourning will do you no good.
| << Jeremiah 47:4 | Jeremiah 47:6 >> |
