Jeremiah 47:7
How - God lets the prophet know that he had given this sword its commission, and therefore it could not stop 'till Ashkelon and the people on the sea - shore were destroyed by it.
5 aBaldness has come upon Gaza,
bAshkelon is cut off
With the remnant of their valley.
How long will you cut yourself?
bAshkelon is cut off
With the remnant of their valley.
How long will you cut yourself?
6 “O you asword of the Lord,
How long until you are quiet?
Put yourself up into your scabbard,
Rest and be still!
How long until you are quiet?
Put yourself up into your scabbard,
Rest and be still!
7 How can1 it be quiet,
Seeing the Lord has agiven it a charge
Against Ashkelon and against the seashore?
There He has bappointed it.”
Seeing the Lord has agiven it a charge
Against Ashkelon and against the seashore?
There He has bappointed it.”
