Jeremiah 47:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁶ “You cry, ‘Sword of the Lord,
    how long will you keep fighting?
Return to your holder.
    Stop! Be still.’
⁷ But how can the sword of the Lord rest?
    The Lord gave it a command.
The Lord has ordered it
    to attack the city of Ashkelon and the seacoast.”
