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!

Jeremiah 47:4-6
New King James Version
4 Because of the day that comes to plunder all the (A)Philistines,
To cut off from (B)Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains;
For the Lord shall plunder the Philistines,
(C)The remnant of the country of (D)Caphtor.[a]
5 (E)Baldness has come upon Gaza,
(F)Ashkelon is cut off
With the remnant of their valley.
How long will you cut yourself?
6 “O you (G)sword of the Lord,
How long until you are quiet?
Put yourself up into your scabbard,
Rest and be still!
