Jeremiah 47:1 in context

Jeremiah 47:1–4

1
Selected verse

The LORD’s word that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Gaza.

2

The LORD says:

“Behold, waters rise up out of the north,

and will become an overflowing stream,

and will overflow the land and all that is therein,

the city and those who dwell therein.

The men will cry,

and all the inhabitants of the land will wail.

3

At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones,

at the rushing of his chariots,

at the rumbling of his wheels,

the fathers don’t look back for their children

because their hands are so feeble,

4

because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines,

to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains;

for the LORD will destroy the Philistines,

the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.
