Jeremiah 47:5-7

New Life Version

⁵ All the hair is gone from the head of Gaza. Ashkelon has been destroyed. O you who are left of their valley, how long will you cut yourselves? ⁶ O, sword of the Lord, how long will it be before you are quiet? Return to your holder. Be at rest and do not move. ⁷ How can it be quiet, when the Lord has given it work to do? He has sent it against Ashkelon and against the land by the sea.”
