Jeremiah 47:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ Gaza will shave its head in mourning.
Ashkelon will be destroyed.
How long will you cut yourselves, you people left on the plains?
⁶ You cry out, “Sword of the Lord,
how long will you keep on fighting?
Go back into your scabbard.
Stay there and rest!”
⁷ How can the sword of the Lord rest?
The Lord has ordered it to attack Ashkelon and the coast.
He has put it there.
