Jeremiah 47:5-7
Names of God Bible
5 Gaza will shave its head in mourning.
Ashkelon will be destroyed.
How long will you cut yourselves, you people left on the plains?
6 You cry out, “Sword of Yahweh,
how long will you keep on fighting?
Go back into your scabbard.
Stay there and rest!”
7 How can the sword of Yahweh rest?
Yahweh has ordered it to attack Ashkelon and the coast.
He has put it there.

7 How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.
