1.    The word of Jehovah that came to the prophet Jeremiah  concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smote Gazah.
 
2.    Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, waters rise up out of the  north, and shall become an overflowing flood, and shall  overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them  that dwell therein: and the men shall cry, and all the  inhabitants of the land shall howl,
 
3.    at the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his steeds, at  the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels:  fathers shall not look back for their children, from  feebleness of hands;
 
4.    because of the day that cometh to lay waste all the  Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper that  remaineth; for Jehovah will lay waste the Philistines, the  remnant of the island of Caphtor.
 
5.    Baldness is come upon Gazah; Ashkelon is cut off, the  remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
 
6.    Alas! sword of Jehovah, how long wilt thou not be quiet?  Withdraw into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
 
7.    How shouldest thou be quiet? -- For Jehovah hath given it a  charge: against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore, there hath  he appointed it.
