Jeremiah 47:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ Baldness is come upon Gaza: Ascalon hath held her peace with the remnant of their valley: how long shalt thou cut thyself?

⁶ O thou sword of the Lord, how long wilt thou not be quiet? Go into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

⁷ How shall it be quiet, when the Lord hath given it a charge against Ascalon, and against the countries thereof by the sea side, and there hath made an appointment for it?
