Jeremiah 47:5-7

Living Bible

⁵ The cities of Gaza and Ashkelon will be razed to the ground and lie in ruins. O descendants of the Anakim, how you will lament and mourn!

⁶ O sword of the Lord, when will you be at rest again? Go back into your scabbard; rest and be still! ⁷ But how can it be still when the Lord has sent it on an errand? For the city of Ashkelon and those living along the sea must be destroyed.
