Jeremiah 47:4-6
Christian Standard Bible
4 on account of the day that is coming
to destroy all the Philistines,
to cut off from Tyre and Sidon
every remaining ally.(A)
Indeed, the Lord is about to destroy the Philistines,
the remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.[a](B)
5 Baldness(C) is coming to Gaza;
Ashkelon will become silent.(D)
Remnant of their valley,
how long will you gash yourself?
6 Oh, sword of the Lord!(E)
How long will you be restless?
Go back to your sheath;
be still; be silent!

4 Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the Lord will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
6 O thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
