Jeremiah 47:2-4
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
2 Thus says the Lord:
See, waters are rising out of the north
and shall become an overflowing torrent;
they shall overflow the land and all that fills it,
the city and those who live in it.
People shall cry out,
and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.
3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his stallions,
at the clatter of his chariots, at the rumbling of their wheels,
parents do not turn back for children,
so feeble are their hands,
4 because of the day that is coming
to destroy all the Philistines,
to cut off from Tyre and Sidon
every helper that remains.
For the Lord is destroying the Philistines,
the remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.
Jeremiah 47:2-4
New International Version
2 This is what the Lord says:
“See how the waters are rising in the north;(A)
they will become an overflowing torrent.
They will overflow the land and everything in it,
the towns and those who live in them.
The people will cry out;
all who dwell in the land will wail(B)
3 at the sound of the hooves of galloping steeds,
at the noise of enemy chariots(C)
and the rumble of their wheels.
Parents will not turn to help their children;
their hands will hang limp.(D)
4 For the day has come
to destroy all the Philistines
and to remove all survivors
who could help Tyre(E) and Sidon.(F)
The Lord is about to destroy the Philistines,(G)
the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.[a](H)
