Jeremiah 47:4-6
Living Bible
4 for the time has come when all the Philistines and their allies from Tyre and Sidon will be destroyed. For the Lord is destroying the Philistines, those colonists from Caphtor. 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!
